## Prediction

Over the next 24 hours, Hezbollah is likely to conduct additional small numbers of FPV drone or indirect-fire harassment attacks against IDF positions in southern Lebanon–northern Israel border sectors such as Al-Bayada. These actions will maintain pressure on Israeli forces and test air defense responses without crossing into a massed-attack profile that would force Israel into a major escalation. Israel will respond with localized counter-battery or airstrikes on launch areas but maintain current rules of engagement. Civilian casualties are likely to remain limited but cumulative strain on border communities will increase.

## Drivers

- Recent Hezbollah publicization of multiple FPV drone strikes against IDF positions
- Emerging trend noting Hezbollah’s precision drone campaign eroding Israeli air-defense dominance
- Broader sustained low-intensity conflict belt from Lebanon through Gaza
