Beirut’s Southern Suburb Targeted: Israeli Airstrike Hits Dahiyeh Following Evacuation Orders for 7 Neighborhoods

A powerful Israeli airstrike rocked Beirut’s southern suburb (Dahiyeh) on Monday morning, March 30, 2026, marking the first attack on the Hezbollah stronghold in three days. The strike followed urgent evacuation warnings issued by the IDF to residents of seven key neighborhoods, instructing them to leave immediately.

Plumes of thick smoke were seen rising from the targeted sites as the area remains largely deserted due to mass displacement since the conflict began on March 2. Local reports indicate that the strike hit structures in Haret Hreik and Hadath, further intensifying the humanitarian crisis in the already battered district.
