Paris – The U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) added several sites to the List of World Heritage in Danger on Friday (24), including a Lebanese castle occupied by Israel and an archaeological site in the occupied West Bank, Palestine.
Beaufort Castle, a fortress also known as Qalaat al-Shaqif, is one of five castles in the Jabal Amel region of southern Lebanon. The UN agency said the fortresses have sustained damage and remain under persistent threat. Sebastia, near the city of Nablus, was also added to the list.
