Israel hoists flag on Sayqif Castle
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu considered the control of Qalaat al-Shqif in southern Lebanon to be a "decisive turning point" in the campaign against Hezbollah, affirming that Israeli forces regained control over it in a unified and strong manner. He explained that the operation aims to reduce Hezbollah's threats, weaken its infrastructure, strengthen control over the area, and raise the Israeli flag atop the fortress, which has been regarded as a strategic symbol since the Crusades era and throughout its occupation of southern Lebanon until 2000. These developments come amid an escalation of Israeli military operations in the region, despite the announced ceasefire since April.
