[Israel Announces Deployment of Troops at Beaufort Castle to Establish a 'Security Zone' in Southern Lebanon] According to Golden Finance, on May 31, Israeli Defense Minister Katz stated that the Israeli military will continue to maintain a garrison at the strategic location of Beaufort Castle in southern Lebanon as part of the so-called 'Southern Lebanon Security Zone.' Katz noted that 26 years after Israel withdrew from the 'security zone' in Lebanon, the Israeli flag has once again been raised on the high ground overlooking the Galilee region. He stated that the Israeli military has 'regained control' of Beaufort Castle and will continue to station troops there. Katz further emphasized that controlling Beaufort Castle and expanding ground military operations 'sends a clear signal to adversaries,' declaring that 'anyone who threatens Israeli civilians will gradually lose their strategic assets.'
