IDF denies entering Yohmor or Beaufort

The Israel Defense Forces has issued a denial regarding its operational footprint in southern Lebanon. In a statement, the IDF explicitly stated that its forces have not set foot in the towns of Yohmor or Beaufort Castle. This denial comes amid ongoing clashes and reports of Israeli military activity in the region, and appears aimed at countering specific claims about territorial advances. The strategic Beaufort Castle, a historic Crusader fortress, has been a significant site in previous conflicts between Israel and Hezbollah.
