An Israeli airstrike on the Shiyyah suburb of Beirut in August 2006, during the Lebanon War, destroyed three apartment buildings. Through 2010 the opening read: "The Chyah Airstrike or the Chyah massacre was an attack by the Israel Air Force (IAF) on the Shiyyah suburb." Today's opening calls it only "the 2006 Shiyyah airstrike," dropping the alternate name from the opening; the word "massacre" survives once elsewhere in the article. A reader today does not learn that the event was also called the Chyah massacre.
