## Prediction

Over the next week, Israeli ground advances near Ali al‑Taher ridge and Dibbine–Blat combined with Hezbollah rocket and drone attacks are likely to drive increased displacement of civilians from southern Lebanon toward safer northern areas. Damage to homes and basic services in frontline villages will mount, and humanitarian agencies will face access and security constraints. The conflict’s psychological toll will deepen sectarian and political fractures within Lebanon, undermining already fragile governance. Confirmation would be rising UN or NGO displacement estimates and imagery of larger civilian flows; denial would require an unexpected ceasefire or pullback from forward positions.

## Drivers

- Recent high‑intensity IDF ground operations in southern Lebanon
- Hezbollah’s continued launch of Paveh missiles and drone attacks on IDF units
- Emerging trend of sustained Israel–Hezbollah escalation with deeper incursions
