Overview
In a significant escalation of the conflict in southern Lebanon, Israeli forces crossed the Litani River—long regarded as a de facto boundary—and seized the medieval Beaufort Castle. This strategic move was highlighted by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a "dramatic shift" in the military campaign. The Israeli army has since declared the territory between the Litani and Zaharani Rivers a conflict zone, signaling intensified military operations in the area.
