## Prediction

In the next 24 hours, Hezbollah is likely to conduct a small number of precision drone or rocket attacks against Israeli military positions in northern Israel, testing air defenses while avoiding mass-casualty strikes. Israel will respond with localized artillery and air strikes on launch sites and infrastructure in southern Lebanon. Both sides will seek to maintain a calibrated tit-for-tat posture that preserves deterrence without triggering a broader war. The pattern of Hezbollah FPV drone employment against tactical targets will continue.

## Drivers

- Emerging trend that Hezbollah’s precision drone attacks are eroding Israeli air defense dominance in the north
- Sustained low-intensity conflict belt from Lebanon through Gaza highlighted in daily briefs
- No indicators of large-scale mobilization, suggesting continued limited engagements
