From October 2023 until June 2026, nearly 80 Lebanese Army soldiers and officers were killed in Israeli attacks and bombardments in the South of Lebanon.

Dahieh is a casualty of Israel’s wars on Lebanon, systematically targeted and left with immense damage. During the 66-day war in September-November 2024, it withstood heavy bombing that disrupted its social, economic and political infrastructure.
