Israel captures historic Beaufort Fort in Lebanon, flies Jewish flag after 44 years
The Israeli army entered southern Lebanon to defeat Hezbollah. Netanyahu’s forces have captured a strategically important mountain in southern Lebanon. On top of this hill is the historic Beaufort Fort. After 44 years, the flag of Israel was raised in that fortress. This is the first time in the history of the last 26 years that the Israeli army entered Lebanon so far.
It is known that Israel has been carrying out airstrikes on the city of Nabatieh in Lebanon and its surrounding areas for the past few days with the aim of occupying this area. It is known that this region is one of the bases of Hezbollah. The capture of the region and the historic hilltop fortress is considered a major victory for Israel since the start of the war between Israel and Hezbollah in early March.

Earlier in 1982, this fort was occupied by the Israeli army. The area was occupied by Israel until the withdrawal of troops from Israel in 2000. Regarding the occupation of this area, the Israeli army said that it was very important to destroy the base of Hezbollah for the sake of the security of the ordinary citizens of Israel. And the message that the military operation will be carried out on a larger scale in the coming days has also been given by Israel.
It is understood that as part of this operation, recent ground operations were carried out in the Beaufort Ridge and Wadi Saluki river areas, where Hezbollah bases were destroyed and their armed fighters were targeted. The Israeli army claims that during the operation, the army crossed the 90-degree bend of the Litani River opposite Metula on the border and advanced towards the fortress.
