## Prediction

Over the next 24 hours, intensified shelling and airstrikes in southern Lebanon are likely to trigger short-notice displacement from frontline villages toward Tyre, Nabatieh, and Beirut suburbs. Shelling damage to homes, clinics, and local power lines will exacerbate already fragile service delivery, especially for families previously displaced from earlier rounds of fighting. Humanitarian actors will struggle to access affected communities if bombardment remains intermittent but unpredictable. Confirmation would be local authority or NGO reports of significant new IDP movements and infrastructure damage; denial would require a quick re-imposition of a ceasefire with verified drop in fire incidents.

## Drivers

- Reports that southern Lebanon is under renewed shelling with locals saying ceasefire is over
- Deadliest Israeli strike since June truce with 11 killed, including families
- Trend indicating Lebanon front sliding into creeping limited war
