The Day Beirut's Hezbollah Quarter Was Evacuated

Morning coverage focused on the IDF launching extensive airstrikes in Tehran, described as a major escalation targeting regime infrastructure. Early afternoon editorial priority shifted dramatically as multiple outlets simultaneously reported the IDF issuing an unprecedented evacuation order for the entire Dahieh neighborhood in Beirut, identified with Hezbollah, with warnings to residents to save their lives and leave immediately. Throughout the day, coverage detailed mass flight from the neighborhood following the evacuation warning, alongside continued Iranian missile launches toward central Israel with sirens activated in multiple regions. Evening reports highlighted the IDF chief's announcement that the military was moving to a new phase in the war, claiming destruction of approximately 60% of Iran's ballistic missile capabilities.
