Summary

Israeli forces have seized the historic 12th-century Beaufort Castle in southern Lebanon—the deepest incursion in 25 years—sending a stark warning to Hezbollah. The fortress, once held by Israel for 18 years, now stands as a symbol of escalating conflict. Despite a supposed ceasefire in April, violence continues, with Lebanon accusing Israel of scorched earth tactics and collective punishment. Over 3,000 deaths have been reported in Lebanon since March 2, while in Gaza, Israel’s PM orders control of 70% of the territory, deepening regional tensions.
