Israel toma castelo de Beaufort, fortaleza medieval no sul Líbano, apesar do cessar-fogo

An Israeli flag flies over the medieval Beaufort Castle, known locally as Qalaat al-Shaqif or Shaqif Arnoun, as seen from the Marjayoun area of southern Lebanon on May 31, 2026. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on May 31 that the army had seized the medieval fortress of Beaufort, in southern Lebanon, where it has expanded its operations against the pro-Iranian Hezbollah. “Forty-four years after the heroic Battle of Beaufort, and on this day of remembrance for the soldiers who fell during the First Lebanon War (1982),” soldiers “have returned to the summit of Beaufort and once again raised the flag of Israel there,” the minister said on his Telegram channel.
