## Prediction

Over the next week, Gaza and southern Lebanon will see further deterioration in humanitarian conditions as entrenched multi-front, infrastructure-destructive warfare continues. Israeli strikes on Hezbollah assets and cross-border exchanges will likely damage additional housing, utilities, and transport infrastructure, compounding existing displacement. Access constraints and security risks will restrict humanitarian operations, with aid delivery increasingly focused on life-saving assistance rather than recovery. Civilian casualties and trauma will mount, with rising international pressure for ceasefire arrangements but limited near-term progress.

## Drivers

- Emerging trends: 'Gaza and southern Lebanon show entrenchment of multi-front, infrastructure-destructive warfare' and population-centric conflict
- Recent IDF strike on Hezbollah weapons facility in Brital
- CENTCOM assessment of ongoing cross-border kinetic activity
- Weak diplomatic traction on durable ceasefires
