## Prediction

Within 24 hours, communities in northern Israel and southern Lebanon will face localized humanitarian pressures from renewed cross-border drone and airstrike exchanges. In Israel, civilians near the border may experience temporary evacuations, school closures, and heightened trauma-related health needs. In southern Lebanon and Western Beqaa, airstrikes will likely damage homes and basic infrastructure, compounding existing economic hardship and displacement. Large-scale cross-border refugee flows are unlikely in this short time frame but psychological stress and infrastructure degradation will worsen.

## Drivers

- Recent Hezbollah explosive drone injuring Israeli civilians
- Immediate Israeli airstrikes in Sahmar, Western Beqaa
- Sustained pattern of low-intensity but lethal exchanges on the Israel–Lebanon axis
