Ayta ash Shab (Arabic: عيتا الشعب; also transliterated Ayta al-Sha'b, Ayta a-Shaab, Ayta ash-Shab or Ayta ash Sha'b') is a small village located in southern Lebanon, about 1 km northeast of the Israeli border.
On July 12, 2006, Hezbollah initiated a attack on an Israeli patrol, which took place on the Lebanese side of the Israel-Lebanon border near Ayta ash Shab. The raid resulted in the capture of two and killing of three Israeli soldiers and triggered the 2006 Lebanon War. During the month-long conflict 85% of Ayta ash Shab's homes were destroyed, and heavy ground fighting ensued between Israeli forces and Hezbollah resistance fighters.[1]
