On June 3, 2025, Israel conducted an airstrike in the Dahieh district of southern Beirut. The strike occurred on the eve of a religious holiday. The Israeli military confirmed that the target was an underground drone factory belonging to the armed group Hezbollah. The airstrike resulted in visible smoke and flames rising from the targeted building. This operation is part of the ongoing tensions in the Middle East, where Israel has been actively engaging with various armed groups in the region. The strike in Beirut is one of several recent military actions taken by Israel in response to perceived threats from Hezbollah. The Dahieh district is known for its strategic importance and has been a frequent target in past conflicts. The area is densely populated, and the airstrike has raised concerns about civilian safety and the potential for escalating violence. The timing of the strike, on the eve of a religious holiday, adds to the complexity of the situation, as it could provoke further tensions and reactions from the local population and other regional actors. The aftermath of the strike and its implications for regional stability are yet to be fully assessed.
