LIVE: IDF’s Beaufort Castle Takeover Sparks UN Alarm; France Calls Move A ‘Major Strategic Mistake’
UN accuses Israel of violating Lebanon’s sovereignty after its takeover of the historic Beaufort Castle, reviving memories of Israel’s 1982-2000 occupation of southern Lebanon. At an emergency U.N. Security Council meeting, officials warned Israel’s military push breaches Lebanon’s territorial integrity and violates the 2006 U.N. resolution demanding withdrawal behind the U.N.-drawn border. U.N. official Martha Ama Akyaa Pobee called the escalation “deeply alarming” amid intensified Hezbollah attacks and Israeli ground operations. France slammed Israel’s move as a “major strategic mistake,” warning a renewed occupation could fuel instability instead of delivering security to Israel and its citizens.
