Beit Yahoun (Arabic: بيت ياحون)[1] is a municipality in Lebanon located near Bint Jbeil, in the Nabatiye Governorate.

[3] In 1881, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described it: "A village, built of stone, containing about fifty Metawileh, situated on hill-top, with grapes and figs.

There are no springs, but a birket and cisterns for water supply.”[4] Following the 1982 invasion Beit Yahoun became part of the Israeli security zone.

[5][6] On 21 June 1997 six Irish soldiers serving with UNIFIL were wounded, one seriously, whilst clearing mines on the road to Beit Yahoun.

The IDF had laid the mines to protect a nearby SLA position which had resulted in the Irish having to use helicopters to reach their UNIFIL post.
