BlockBeats News, June 1st, according to The New York Times, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the military to strike the Dahiyeh area in the southern suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon, as part of an expansion of the military operation against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

After the news was announced, thousands of local residents were evacuated in emergency, and major roads in the southern suburbs of Beirut experienced severe traffic congestion. The market is concerned that the already fragile ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah is at risk of collapsing.

Reports indicate that since the US-Iran ceasefire agreement took effect in April this year, Israel has largely avoided direct strikes on the Beirut city area, but has continued to carry out airstrikes in the southern and eastern regions of Lebanon. At the same time, Hezbollah militants have continued to launch attacks on the Israeli military stationed in Lebanon and targets in northern Israel.

The Dahiyeh area is seen as a key stronghold of Hezbollah in Beirut. Since the escalation of the Israel-Palestine conflict in 2023, residents of the area have been forced to evacuate multiple times due to the conflict. Although Lebanon declared a ceasefire in November 2024, partial conflicts and military actions have never completely stopped.

Analysts believe that the Israeli military's resumption of military strikes on the southern suburbs of Beirut signals a further escalation of the Lebanon-Israel situation, potentially exacerbating the tense situation in the Middle East region.
