ABSTRACT
In April 2000, the Israeli army withdrew from South Lebanon. One of the most emblematic and strategic point this army left is Beaufort castle. Its location on the top of a cliff overlooking the Litani River, 4 km far from the Israeli territory limit, transformed the Castle into an important military position in South Lebanon. It was also a very important site from which national resistance against occupation took place. It was easy to understand the need expressed by local inhabitants to restore the Castle after the destruction caused by the war.
