## Prediction

Within 24 hours, displacement from Tyre, Nabatieh, and other areas south of the Zahrani River will accelerate, likely pushing total newly displaced persons into the low hundreds of thousands range. Evacuation corridors will be intermittently disrupted by ongoing air and artillery strikes, increasing humanitarian stress and complicating aid delivery. Lebanese authorities and local NGOs will struggle to provide shelter and medical support in safer northern areas and in the Bekaa Valley. UN agencies will issue urgent appeals but will be operationally constrained by security conditions.

## Drivers

- Official declaration of all territory south of Zahrani as a combat zone
- Mass evacuation orders for Tyre and Nabatieh
- Reports of intensified Israeli strikes across southern Lebanon
- Emerging trend of 'Northern Israel–Southern Lebanon front converging toward major urban displacement'
