Israel has taken control of Beaufort Castle in southern Lebanon as Israeli troops make their deepest incursion into their neighbour’s territory in more than 26 years.
Israel said the move was needed to counter the threat from Hezbollah, the Lebanese group it is fighting in the south of the country.
The 900-year-old Crusader-era castle looks out over the Litani valley and is further north than Israel’s original stated operational aim of pushing Hezbollah back beyond the Litani River.
