## Prediction

In the next 24 hours, additional Lebanese civilians in southern Lebanon and parts of the Beqaa Valley (including villages like Sahmar) are likely to flee toward safer interior areas following fresh Israeli evacuation notices and airstrikes. However, movement will remain in the thousands rather than tens of thousands due to short warning times, economic hardship, and uncertainty over safe destinations. Local infrastructure, including health clinics and roads, will come under strain, but large-scale international aid surges will lag behind the pace of displacement. Cross-border spillover into Syria will remain minimal during this period.

## Drivers

- Reports of IDF evacuation notices and airstrikes in Sahmar in the Beqaa
- IDF incursions across the Litani indicating expanded battlespace
- Hezbollah–Israel exchanges increasing perceived risk among civilians
- Historical patterns of gradual, wave-like displacement in Lebanon conflicts
