## Prediction

Within 24 hours, continued Israeli air and artillery strikes and Hezbollah retaliation in southern Lebanon are likely to cause additional civilian casualties and small-scale displacement, particularly in border towns like Qatrani, Habbouch, and areas near recent high-casualty incidents. Local medical facilities will experience surge pressure, with NGOs reporting difficulties accessing some impacted zones due to ongoing bombardment. No large, organized cross-border refugee flows to Europe are expected in this short window, but internal displacement toward Beirut and safer northern areas will grow incrementally. Information access may be patchy given damage to local infrastructure.

## Drivers

- High casualties reported in recent Lebanon fighting
- Ongoing Israeli ground advances and airstrikes from Aitaroun to Blida and other southern areas
- Hezbollah FPV drone and counterstrikes indicating escalated tempo
- Trend of IDF expanding air campaign deeper into Lebanon
