- On 13 July, 2006, Israeli jets dropped leaflets over Dahieh warning residents to evacuate the area before their airstrikes against Hezbollah infrastructures. However, not everyone had managed to flee the town, and those who did became refugees within the mainland "north" Beirut. The neighbourhood continues to be a frequent target of Israeli jets and warships. The Hezbollah auditorium and residential areas had been destroyed so far according to Lebanese, Arab and western media. Hezbollah's television station, Al-Manar, was also targeted in the area.
