Fouad Fatimi

Fouad Fatimi is the mayor of Arnoun, Lebanon, a village in close proximity to Beaufort Castle. He has been vocal about the distressing memories the recent Israeli flag raising over the castle brought back for the local population, recalling the painful days of occupation between 1982 and 2000. Fatimi reported on the evacuation of residents ordered by Israeli forces prior to the castle's capture, reflecting the ongoing turmoil faced by communities in southern Lebanon.
