Executive summary
Within 24 hours, there is likely to be a sharp uptick in civilian displacement from Tyre and nearby southern Lebanese areas toward zones north of the Zahrani River and further inland. Fear of large-scale IDF strikes, amplified by media coverage and prior Gaza experience, will drive many households to leave quickly, even with limited organized transport. Local infrastructure and host communities will experience immediate stress on shelter, water, and medical services.
