## Prediction

Across the next month, persistent low-level violence in Gaza and southern Lebanon—occasional IDF shelling, drone harassment, and sporadic cross-border fire—will prevent meaningful reconstruction, keep civilians in precarious housing, and maintain high levels of psychological trauma. Aid organizations will face access constraints, donor fatigue, and security costs that reduce program reach, while displaced families delay returning or invest in temporary coping mechanisms like informal labor or child work. This entrenched limbo raises the risk of radicalization and reduces the prospects for political settlements. Confirmation would be continued reports of ceasefire violations, slow or stalled rebuilding projects, and rising indicators of mental health distress and school dropout; denial would be a robust, verifiable ceasefire with facilitated reconstruction access.

## Drivers

- Reports of Israeli ceasefire violations and naval shelling in Gaza
- Repeated lethal IDF incidents in Nabatieh and southern Lebanon
- Emerging trend: entrenched Hezbollah–Israel confrontation post-ceasefire
- Global protests and political polarization around Israel’s UN status
