Lebanon is experiencing a severe economic crisis described as a 'catastrophe,' driven by a combination of longstanding mismanagement and the recent escalation of hostilities. The conflict has further destabilized an already fragile economy, impacting civilian livelihoods and market stability in southern regions like Tyre. This economic deterioration increases the pressure on the Lebanese state and may influence the sustainability of proxy operations and regional stability.
