Jabal Amel Castles UNESCO Listing
UNESCO has confirmed the inclusion of Jabal Amel's castles in southern Lebanon, dating back to the 12th-century military era, on the World Heritage List and the List of Threatened Heritage. These castles, situated in strategic locations overlooking the surrounding areas, have suffered significant damage and are under threat due to the ongoing conflict between Hezbollah and Israel. This includes the destruction of Shatara Castle and the threat to Qasr al-Shuqif, which has been occupied and where plans to blow it up have been announced, according to the Israeli army. Lebanese Culture Minister Ghassan Salamé pointed out that the three affected castles are located under Israeli occupation, and their current state poses a serious threat to the region’s heritage. Lebanese authorities are prepared to restore them immediately upon their liberation.
