On November 12, 2024, Israel conducted multiple airstrikes on Hezbollah-linked locations in the Dahieh district of southern Beirut, Lebanon, following evacuation orders issued by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for residents of 11 buildings. The IDF advised residents to evacuate their homes by at least 500 meters, highlighting Hezbollah's use of civilian areas for terrorist activities. Shortly after the warnings at 8:41 am, Israeli fighter jets launched over six airstrikes within an hour on Dahieh, including the Haret Hreik neighborhood. The attacks caused significant damage to residential buildings and infrastructure, with extensive destruction reported. The strikes marked the first Israeli attacks on the Dahieh area in three days and escalated tensions in the region.
