5x expansion of a spun-out section checks out and the article is well-written without any paraphrasing or copyright concerns. The article is new enough and the hook fact checks out too. I have some very slight reservations about the hook wording, as it's just a little bit misleading (it makes it sound like the lighthouse was built to withstand bombardment). In my judgment though, the current phrasing is not untrue and it does make for a more interesting hook. There may be a better way to word the hook that keeps it interesting and makes it less misleading, but I don't see this as a reason to not approve at the moment.
