Israeli forces captured Beaufort Castle in southern Lebanon on May 31, 2026, marking the deepest military incursion into Lebanese territory since Israel's withdrawal in 2000. The seizure of the UNESCO-protected medieval fortress—symbolic of Israel's 18-year occupation—came despite an April ceasefire and ongoing peace talks in Washington, displacing over 1.2 million Lebanese civilians and drawing condemnation from France, the UN, and the Arab League.
