## Prediction

Over the coming week, continued Israeli strikes on homes, nurseries, and medical-adjacent areas, combined with evacuation orders in Nabatieh and broader southern Lebanon, are likely to drive a significant second wave of internal displacement toward Beirut and the Bekaa Valley. Host communities already under economic strain will face rent spikes, service overloads, and heightened social tension, risking localized unrest. This humanitarian pressure will amplify international demands for a more durable ceasefire and increase dependency on external aid amid Lebanon’s fiscal collapse. Confirmation would be UN or Lebanese government estimates showing sharp increases in newly displaced from the south; denial would require a verifiable halt or sharp reduction in strikes near populated southern areas.

## Drivers

- Multiple reports of civilian casualties and destruction in Marwaniyeh, Tyre, Nabatieh, and nurseries
- Israeli evacuation orders in southern Lebanon despite ceasefire announcements
- Lebanon’s pre-existing economic collapse limiting absorption capacity
