After the Israeli military (IDF) crossed the Litani River on Friday - the informal border in southern Lebanon for Israeli presence - the IDF said on social media that its goal is to dismantle the infrastructure built by Hezbollah, eliminate terrorists and remove threats to Israeli civilians.

After intense fighting, the IDF has taken control of the medieval Beaufort Castle, which was built during the time of the Crusaders.

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam on Saturday accused Israel of engaging in “scorched-earth tactics” by destroying infrastructure in the country.
