Israeli forces carried out strikes near Beaufort Castle in southern Lebanon, with nearby towns reported to have been hit in the operation. The incident focused attention on an area that remains highly sensitive amid ongoing cross-border tensions.
According to the Israeli military, the attack was aimed at parts of a Hezbollah tunnel network in southern Lebanon. The IDF said it used 700 tonnes of explosives as part of the effort to destroy sections of that underground infrastructure.
The military statement highlighted the scale of the operation, but only limited public details were immediately available about the broader impact on the surrounding towns. Reports centered on the location near Beaufort Castle and the claim that underground positions were the target.
The strikes add to the pressure in southern Lebanon, where any major military action can quickly raise regional concerns. With the focus now on the reported tunnel destruction, attention is likely to remain on developments around Beaufort Castle and nearby communities.
