# Translation The Municipality of Arnoun condemned the Israeli shelling that targeted Beaufort Castle (Shaqif Castle) in southern Lebanon, considering the attack to have struck one of the most prominent archaeological and heritage landmarks of national, cultural, and humanitarian value. The municipality stated in a communiqué that the shelling coincides with the explosion of residential homes, destruction of neighborhoods and infrastructure, and the forced displacement of residents from their lands and homes, emphasizing that the castle is not merely an archaeological site, but a living witness to the region's history and the resilience of its people throughout the centuries. The castle had been granted "enhanced protection" in 2024 under the Second Protocol of the Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict, considering its targeting to constitute a clear and explicit violation of international laws and conventions related to the protection of cultural and humanitarian heritage.
