A Lebanese security police stands in the perimeters of the newly restored Crusader Beaufort castle in Arnoun village, southern Lebanon January 18, 2015. The castle, which has survived a millennium of conflict in the area, was greatly damaged during the Israeli-Lebanese conflict and was one of the last positions abandoned by Israeli forces when it ended its 22-year occupation of Lebanon in 2000.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Ali Hashisho, a Lebanese security police officer stands tall within the perimeters of the newly restored Crusader Beaufort castle in Arnoun village, southern Lebanon. The image was taken on January 18,2015, showcasing the remarkable resilience and historical significance of this ancient fortress. The Beaufort castle has withstood countless conflicts over its thousand-year existence. However, it suffered significant damage during the Israeli-Lebanese conflict. Serving as one of the final strongholds relinquished by Israeli forces after their 22-year occupation ended in 2000, the castle holds deep symbolic value for both Lebanon and its people. Standing amidst remnants of history's turmoil, the security police officer represents strength and protection. Their presence signifies a commitment to safeguarding not only this architectural gem but also preserving Lebanon's rich heritage for future generations. This photograph encapsulates an intriguing blend of past and present—a testament to human perseverance against adversity. It serves as a reminder that even amid chaos and destruction, there is always hope for restoration and renewal. Ali Hashisho's lens captures more than just an image; it immortalizes a story etched into every stone of Beaufort castle—an enduring symbol of resilience standing proudly against time's relentless march forward.
