1 June 2026: IDF ground forces took the highly strategic heights at Beaufort Castle in Lebanon this week. From Beaufort Castle one can look to the south to view northern Israel, or look to the north to view Beirut and beyond. To the east one can see strategic Mount Hermon, also under the control of the IDF.
The mastery of these heights marks a critical point in the war, a point not lost on the Twelver regime in Tehran or their Hezbollah proxy in Lebanon. It is the catalyst for their desperation and large-scale drone attacks since last week as well as the Twelver declaration that they will not hesitate to defend their beseiged allies. Beirut now lies defenseless before the IDF; a downhill sprint from Beaufort Castle is next.
Concurrent with the IDF capture of Beaufort it was announced that the Twelvers have regained access to the collapsed tunnel entrances which contain hundreds of long-range missiles. The excavation dust had not settled when the Twelvers made the threat to attack Israel anew with this arsenal in short order.
Also concurrent with these developments came renewed US airstrikes last night on IRGC radar, command and control (C2) sites and relay stations. Resumption of warfighting demands an electronic blinding of the IRGC forces.
