## Resource

Israeli troops have seized a historic Crusader-era fortress in southern Lebanon — the first such incursion in over 25 years — raising the Israeli flag atop Beaufort Castle, a strategic stronghold with deep historical roots and critical military value. The move comes amid escalating violence, just days before planned peace talks and despite a nominal ceasefire, signaling Israel’s intent to dismantle Hezbollah infrastructure and protect its civilians — while Hezbollah retaliates with rocket fire and airstrikes continue across the border. The conflict, now entering its second year, has claimed thousands of lives and displaced over a million people, leaving the region on edge as both sides prepare for further escalation.
