Israeli media report that IDF ground forces are advancing in the Lebanese village of Tabnit, north of the Beaufort Castle, and in Majdal Zoun in the western sector. The details of the operation and its scope have not been officially confirmed by the military.
According to a Saturday evening news roundup carried by Israeli media, ground forces of the Israel Defense Forces have advanced into the Lebanese village of Tabnit, located north of the Beaufort Castle (Qal'at al-Shuqif), and into Majdal Zoun in the western sector. The report cites unnamed military sources but provides no further details on the size of the force, the timing of the incursion, or whether any exchanges of fire occurred. The IDF has not yet issued an official statement.
A Hezbollah drone infiltration earlier Saturday evening, as reported separately by The Zioneer, has heightened tensions on the northern border, though no direct link between the ground movement and the drone incident has been confirmed.
The Beaufort Castle area saw intense fighting during the 2006 Second Lebanon War and remains a strategically significant ridge in southern Lebanon. Majdal Zoun is a village in the western sector near the coast. If confirmed, this would be the first reported IDF ground action in these specific locations in the current round of operations. No casualty figures or operational objectives have been released.
