Several of the sites have already sustained direct and indirect damage, the minister said. According to him, the Shamaa mausoleum suffered direct damage, with three of its domes collapsing and a fourth at risk of collapse. The minister also pointed to concerns raised after the Israeli military claimed there were tunnels beneath the Beaufort Castle, prompting a diplomatic and public information campaign to demonstrate that the tunnels are located more than 700 meters (0.4 miles) from the fortress.WorldIsraeli Army Prepares for Long-Term Presence in Southern Lebanon \u2013 Defense Minister27 June, 18:20 GMT<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/sputniknews.com\/20260708\/lebanon-urges-unesco-to-protect-5-ancient-fortresses-amid-israeli-strikes-1124414719.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A man photographs the rubble of buildings destroyed in an Israeli airstrike in Dahiyeh, Beirut&#8217;s southern suburbs, Lebanon, Sunday, March 15, 2026.
