Israel captures Beaufort Castle in southern Lebanon
Israeli forces captured the 900-year-old Beaufort Castle and the surrounding strategic ridge in southern Lebanon, planting their flag on the Crusader-era stronghold. The operation represents Israel's deepest incursion into southern Lebanon during the current conflict, and Defence Minister Israel Katz said troops will remain stationed at the hilltop. The seizure followed clashes that killed one Israeli soldier and lightly wounded four after a Hezbollah explosive drone attack on Sunday. Control of the elevated position matters because Beaufort overlooks key supply routes and observation points along the Israel-Lebanon border, strengthening Israel's ability to target Hezbollah positions and reshaping battlefield dynamics.
The French foreign minister said Sunday that he has requested an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council after Israeli forces seized the medieval Beaufort castle in Lebanon. www.rfi.fr/en/internati...
Melissa Chemam4Experts say the castle Israel has seized is strategic and represents the deepest incursion into Lebanon in 26 years: "largely symbolic, the capture also complicates efforts to extent ceasefire between US and Iran" www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...
angels4peace.bsky.social3Europe needs to boycott Israel completely. There is no other way. The US will continue to fund Israel, so we should all boycott them too. It’s really not that complex.
Ellen2The EU can and should act on its own. They are using an expected United States veto to avoid doing anything. They are just as complicit in the #Gaza and #Lebanon genocides as the United States is.
jerksontheright.bsky.social2Trump will have the US rep veto any sanctions or punishments for Israel. Netanyahu obviously has Epstein videos he uses for leverage. another reason to get the facts about Trump's pedophilia out there and end the extortion game by the Israelis.
💥 Israel is dropping bombs on Beaufort Castle — one of South Lebanon’s most historic landmarks. A 900-year-old site with UNESCO’s highest protection status under the Hague Convention. Israel isn’t just mass murdering civilians. It is erasing South Lebanon stone by stone. @sarahabdallah.bsky.social
John Shea 🍀10Israel is a big part of this problem and they need to be held accountable and they need to be stopped.
New dude 1 🇨🇦7Thanks to American made bombs. Funded by American tax dollars. And Isreal gets public health care.
Not that Karen7Netanyahu is a carbon copy of the orange felon!
@GioLovesYou3That is terrible. It reminds me of:
Susan Gross2I will never understand how Jews were the focus of genocide in WW2 and now, somehow, that bastard, Bibi, is still in office committing genocide on so many others. My grandparents who escaped Europe, looked to Israel in awe. It was their holy grail. I am glad they're not here to see this horror.

The Israeli military has captured the Crasader-era Beaufort Castle in southern Lebanon, a site it hasn't held for 26 years, as it expands its incursion deeper into its neighbor's territory. https://cnn.it/4x70vw7
Suzanne W 🖤💚💛😇11We’re criticising Russia (quite rightly) for invading Ukraine and take land, but allowing Israel to do the same in Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank, why?
5thgenfljane.bsky.social8Incursion? Try invasion, CNN. Tell the truth.
robjrii.bsky.social4Fuck you for this framing, whitewashing this absolutely batshit insane and illegal fucking theft and pillaging being committed by Israel.
CN2it’s an invasion not an ‘incursion”
Tim Lowe2Dear @cnn.com you spelled invasion wrong. Incredible how bad Legacy Media spelling is. #MediaFail
caramelquinn.bsky.social2It’s always ordinary people who end up paying the price when conflicts escalate.
Thorvarg2Netanyahu is one of the greatest war criminals and mass murderers of our time. His motto: land acquisition through genocide. He has created a second Warsaw Ghetto in the Gaza Strip and now he does the same in South-Lebanon. www.unicefusa.org/stories/more-50000-children-killed-or-injured-gaza
Any Way You Want Me2CNN portrays this as some kind of heroic victory. A Nobel wartime achievement. For clarity: This is a criminal army of child murderers and rapists invading a sovereign country after razing Gaza and committing genocide. Tell David Zasla, your Zionist boss, that that’s what it is.
