## Prediction

In the next week, continued IDF ground thrusts and strikes around Tyre and nearby populated coastal belts are likely to displace tens of thousands of Lebanese civilians, many moving northward or into already strained interior towns. Basic services—electricity, water, waste management—will degrade in and around Tyre, while informal shelters and schools in safer zones fill beyond capacity. This will increase the risk of sectarian tensions and protests in Beirut, and could push external actors (France, UNIFIL contributors, Gulf donors) to launch emergency aid or press for ceasefire arrangements. Confirmation would be UN/NGO estimates of new IDPs in five-figure ranges and images of sustained urban damage; denial would be a rapid freeze in IDF advances and limited, reversible damage to residential areas.

## Drivers

- Reports of widened IDF strikes into new western Tyre neighborhoods, including near the Christian quarter
- Order for complete evacuation of Tyre port and evidence of urban targeting
- Trend: Hezbollah–Israel conflict entrenched with multi-domain escalation on Lebanese front
