## Prediction

Over the next 24 hours, intermittent IDF strikes and Hezbollah rocket or drone launches will push more civilians from villages in southern Lebanon, particularly around Majdal Zoun, Kfar Tebnit, and Zawtar El Gharbiyeh. Families with limited resources will relocate deeper into Lebanon or to urban centers, straining host communities and local services. This low-visibility displacement compounds Lebanon’s economic crisis and raises the stakes for any ceasefire framework that might stabilize the frontier. Confirmation would be new UN or NGO figures on displaced households and reports of schools or public buildings being used as shelters; denial would be verified calm and return movements to border villages.

## Drivers

- Reports of heavy fighting and airstrikes in Majdal Zoun and Kfar Tebnit
- FPV strikes and drone shootdowns evidencing continued hostilities
- Sustained trend of Hezbollah–IDF confrontation under a not-yet-realized ceasefire framework
- Lebanon’s pre-existing economic and governance fragility
