Ayta ash Shab (Arabic: عيطا 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 cross-border attack on an Israeli routine patrol, which took place on the Israel-Lebanon border near Ayta ash Shab and Zar'it. The raid resulted in the capture of two and killing of three Israeli soldiers and triggered the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict.
