As it reads on Wikipedia · 1 finding marked in the text · see twenty years of this article's openings

Dahieh (Arabic: الضاحية الجنوبية, lit. 'the southern suburb', French: Banlieue Sud de Beyrouth, Dâhiye de Beyrouth) is a predominantly Shia Muslim suburb in the south of Beirut, in the Baabda District of Lebanon. It has a minority of Sunni Muslims, Christians, and a Palestinian refugee camp with 20,000 inhabitants. It is a residential and commercial area with malls, stores and souks, and comprises several towns and municipalities, including Ghobeiry, Haret Hreik, Bourj el-Barajneh, Ouzai, and Hay El-Saloum. It is north of Rafic Hariri International Airport, and the M51 freeway that links Beirut to the airport passes through it. Dahieh is the Beirut stronghold of Lebanese political party and paramilitary group Hezbollah, and it had large auditoria in Haret Hreik, Hadath and Bourj el-Barajneh, where Hezbollah followers gathered on special occasions. The area was severely bombed by Israel in the 2006 Lebanon War and in the Israel–Hezbollah conflict (2023–present). Hassan Nasrallah, the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in 2024.

What the highlighted wording does
1
㉓ Reviewed in the sweep
Dahieh is a predominantly Shia suburb of Beirut and Hezbollah's stronghold. Through October 6 2023 the opening said it "is the Beirut stronghold of Shia militant group Hezbollah." Today the opening calls Hezbollah a "Lebanese political party and paramilitary group," and the word militant appears nowhere in the article. A reader arriving now learns Hezbollah is a political party and paramilitary group, and not that it is described as a Shia militant group.
