🌡️ CIS LEBANON SECURITY INDEX July 19 2025 – GOVERNORATE-BY-GOVERNORATE SECURITY ASSESSMENT

BEIRUT 🏙️

• Index Reading: 78/100 🟠
• Status: The capital is on high alert. The government is navigating extreme diplomatic pressure following the recent escalations, while security forces are focused on preventing any spillover of sectarian tensions from the deadly clashes in Syria’s Sweida province. The risk of politically motivated protests or spontaneous civil unrest remains severe.
• Key Factor: Extreme national tension driven by the convergence of active conflict on multiple fronts and the acute risk of internal sectarian friction.

MOUNT LEBANON 🏞️

• Index Reading: 60/100 🟡
• Status: Tensions are elevated. Following the violent clashes in Sweida, Syria, there have been reports of localized unrest in Druze communities, including attempts to block roads and assault Syrian workers. The Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) have issued a stern warning that they “will not allow any breach of security or violation of civil peace” and are on high alert to thwart any attempts at sedition.
• Key Factor: Direct spillover of sectarian tensions from the Sweida clashes, leading to localized instability and a heavy LAF presence.

NORTH LEBANON 🌊

• Index Reading: 93/100 🔴
• Status: The security environment remains critical. The July 8 strike near Tripoli established the region as an active front, and the recent major escalations in the Beqaa and South confirm that no part of the country is immune from kinetic military action.
• Key Factor: Aftermath of the recent assassination, compounded by a nationwide multi-front conflict that has shattered any sense of geographic safety.

AKKAR 🌲

• Index Reading: 96/100 🔴
• Status: The risk level is extreme and rising. The death toll from the violent sectarian clashes in Sweida, Syria, just across the border, has now surpassed 718. Israel has allowed a limited, 48-hour deployment of Syrian forces to the area to restore calm, creating a highly unpredictable and dangerous situation on the border.
• Key Factor: Extreme threat from border porosity, now acutely heightened by the massive, violent instability and unpredictable military situation in Syria’s Sweida province.

BEQAA VALLEY 🍇

• Index Reading: 92/100 🔴
• Status: The risk level remains critical. The entire valley is considered a high-threat area for Israeli military action, as it serves as a strategic rear base and logistical corridor for Hezbollah.
• Key Factor: Proximity to the July 15 mass-casualty strikes and its strategic value as a Hezbollah logistics hub.

BAALBEK-HERMEL 🕌

• Index Reading: 99/100 🔴
• Status: The governorate remains an active and primary conflict zone. The aftermath of the July 15 Israeli airstrikes, which killed 12 people, continues to define the region as extremely volatile as the nation awaits a potential Hezbollah response.
• Key Factor: Aftermath of major, deep-penetration Israeli airstrikes that caused mass casualties and targeted strategic Hezbollah infrastructure.

KESERWAN-JBEIL 🏛️

• Index Reading: 45/100 🟢
• Status: This remains the calmest governorate, but the illusion of safety is eroding due to the expanding geographic scope of Israeli air operations and the rising national tension.
• Key Factor: No direct threats, but risks are rising due to the deteriorating national security picture.

SOUTH LEBANON 🌴

• Index Reading: 98/100 🔴
• Status: Active conflict continues with daily Israeli ground incursions. On July 18, Israeli forces crossed into the border village of Wazzani and detonated two bulldozers used for agricultural work. This follows the fatal drone strike in Naqoura and the ground incursion in Houla on July 17.
• Key Factor: Continued kinetic activity, including new ground incursions, demolitions, and the constant threat of targeted killings.

NABATIEH ⛪

• Index Reading: 99/100 🔴
• Status: The region is the most volatile front in the country. The fatal targeted killing in Kfour on July 17 has been compounded by a major prison break in the same town, adding a significant criminal threat to the active military one. Security forces are conducting a manhunt for the escapees.
• Key Factor: Multiple recent fatal targeted killings and a major prison break, confirming it as the most dangerous and unpredictable front.

🎯 CIS LEBANON SECURITY INDEX July 19 2025 – TODAY’S SECURITY INTELLIGENCE BRIEF

🔥 CIS LEBANON SECURITY INDEX July 19 2025 – HIGH-RISK AREAS TO MONITOR:

• Location 1: Wazzani (Hasbaya District): Site of a new Israeli ground incursion and demolition of equipment on July 18.
• Location 2: Kfour (Nabatieh District): Site of a fatal targeted killing on July 17 and a major prison break on July 18, with a manhunt underway.
• Location 3: Akkar Border Region: High risk of spillover from the violent conflict in Sweida, Syria, where the death toll has exceeded 700.

✅ SECURE ZONES:

• Area 1: Jbeil & Batroun Districts: Continue to be the most stable areas, though subject to Israeli overflights.
• Area 2: Central Mount Lebanon: Kinetically calm but experiencing sectarian tensions and a heavy LAF presence; exercise caution.
• Area 3: Central Beirut Neighborhoods: Suitable for operations with extreme vigilance; avoid all protests or large gatherings as the political situation is explosive.

⚠️ AVOID TODAY:

• All areas south of the Litani River – An ongoing, unpredictable war zone with daily targeted killings and ground incursions.

📱 CIS LEBANON SECURITY INDEX July 19 2025 – PROFESSIONAL SECURITY GUIDANCE

🏠 FOR RESIDENTS:

• Situational Awareness: The conflict is active on multiple fronts. The LAF has issued a strong warning against sectarian strife; heed all official directives and avoid any actions that could inflame tensions.
• Home Security: Ensure shelter-in-place kits are stocked for a minimum of 10 days. The ground incursions in Houla and Wazzani demonstrate that proximity to the border is extremely dangerous.
• Movement Guidance: Avoid all non-essential travel. The targeting of vehicles on main roads (Kfour) highlights the risk of movement even in areas away from the immediate border.

🏢 CIS LEBANON SECURITY INDEX July 19 2025 – FOR BUSINESSES:

• Supply Chain Collapse: The targeting of the Beqaa Valley, a critical agricultural and logistical hub, will have severe and immediate impacts on supply chains nationwide. Activate all contingency plans.
• Staff Safety: Suspend all operations and staff travel to the Baalbek-Hermel, Bekaa, South Lebanon, and Nabatieh governorates immediately.
• Business Continuity: The period of strategic ambiguity following the Beqaa strikes, now combined with renewed kinetic action in the South, creates an extremely unpredictable environment. All businesses must be on maximum alert for a rapid deterioration of the security situation.

🚗 CIS LEBANON SECURITY INDEX July 19 2025 – FOR TRAVELERS:

• DO NOT TRAVEL: The security situation is extremely volatile and dangerous. All foreign government advisories recommend against any travel to Lebanon. Commercial flights could be suspended with no notice.
• New Air Threat: The deep strikes in the Beqaa demonstrate that Israeli air operations can occur anywhere in the country, at any time, far from the southern border.
• Ground Threat: The incursions in Houla and Wazzani confirm that Israeli ground forces are operating inside Lebanese territory, representing a severe risk.

🔮 CIS LEBANON SECURITY INDEX July 19 2025 – 24-HOUR SECURITY FORECAST

• Predicted Index Reading: 96/100
• Forecast Trend: ⚡ VOLATILE
• Expected Factors: The primary variable remains Hezbollah’s response to the Beqaa strikes. The resumption of Israeli targeted killings in the South before any major Hezbollah retaliation indicates Israel is continuing to escalate pressure. The situation is extremely unstable.
• Preparation Recommendation: All residents and organizations must prepare for a potential, rapid escalation to a wider conflict. This is a critical 24-48 hour period.

• This Week’s Average: 93/100
• Change from Last Week: +15 points
• Monthly Trend: Deteriorating. The security situation continues its sharp decline. The Israeli strikes on Hezbollah’s strategic depth in the Beqaa, followed by a resumption of targeted killings and ground incursions in the South, have pushed the country to the brink.
