Israel Clashes with Hizbollah at Historic Lebanese Site

Israeli forces and Hizbollah are engaged in intense fighting around a 12th-century crusader castle in Chamaa, Lebanon, marking one of Israel's deepest advances into the country since its September ground invasion. The conflict has resulted in casualties on both sides, including the death of an Israeli civilian, and has led to damage in the area, including concerns over a religious shrine. The UN's cultural agency UNESCO has placed the Chamaa citadel under enhanced protection. Despite Israeli advances, Hizbollah continues to use insurgent tactics and fire rockets into northern Israel.
