UN to discuss escalation in Lebanon after Israel takes Beaufort castle

QLAYAA, Lebanon: The UN Security Council is set to hold an emergency meeting Monday on the fighting in Lebanon after Israel’s military took over the medieval castle of Beaufort in Lebanese territory, diplomatic sources told AFP. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to push deeper into Lebanon and called Sunday’s operation a “dramatic shift” in the campaign against Hezbollah. A truce to halt the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah began on April 17, but has never been observed.
