YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Israeli troops announced the capture of a historic castle taken by the crusaders in Lebanon in what the country’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, described as “a dramatic stage and dramatic change in our policy.” The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) shared pictures of the Israeli flag being raised above Beaufort Castle, a 900-year-old fortress constructed on a cliffside high above the Litani River. The capture of the castle gives Israeli troops a commanding lookout post over much of southern Lebanon and northern Israel.
