## Prediction

Within 24 hours, cross-border fire and airstrikes will likely cause additional localized displacement from villages near the Israel–Lebanon border, particularly in areas already suffering infrastructure damage. Residents in high-risk zones around Nabatieh and the Litani River area will either move deeper into Lebanon or cluster in informal shelters and relatives’ homes. Civilian casualty numbers are likely to rise modestly but not exponentially, as most residents are already sensitized to air raid patterns. Humanitarian organizations will focus on emergency shelter, fuel, and medical support rather than large-scale camp setups in this time frame.

## Drivers

- Sustained IDF airstrikes in southern Lebanon including near populated areas
- Hezbollah operational activity that draws retaliatory fire close to civilian zones
- Historical behavior of border communities during flare-ups
- Evidence of critical infrastructure outages pushing people to safer, better-served areas
