A crater in Dahieh in 2008, two years after the 2006 Lebanon War
The Dahiya doctrine, or Dahya doctrine,[1] is a military strategy involving the destruction of civilian infrastructure in order to pressure hostile regimes.[2] It is a type of asymmetric warfare. It endorses the employment of "disproportionate force" (compared to the amount of force used by the enemy[3][4]) to secure that end.[5] The doctrine was outlined by former Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of General Staff Gadi Eizenkot.
The doctrine is named after the Dahieh (also transliterated as Dahiyeh and Dahiya) neighborhood of Beirut, where Hezbollah was headquartered during the 2006 Lebanon War, which was heavily damaged by the IDF.[2]
