## Prediction

Over the next seven days, sustained Israeli ground and air operations beyond the Litani combined with Hezbollah’s embedded presence in border villages are likely to push cumulative displacement in Lebanon well above 100,000 people. Lebanon’s already fragile health system, electricity grid, and municipal services will strain under the influx, particularly in the Bekaa Valley and Greater Beirut, increasing blackouts, medicine shortages, and localized unrest. International aid flows will rise but be hampered by security constraints and donor fatigue from Gaza and Ukraine. Confirmation would be UN or Lebanese government displacement tallies crossing the six-figure threshold and reports of systemic service disruptions; disconfirmation would be a rapid, verifiable de-escalation on the ground enabling partial returns.

## Drivers

- Heavy Israeli bombardment of Beirut, Tyre, Nabatieh, and Bekaa
- IDF directive establishing large civilian exclusion zones
- Lebanon’s preexisting economic crisis and power instability
