## Prediction

Within seven days, if Hezbollah continues targeting Israeli air-defense sites in the north, the IDF is likely to initiate a limited but sustained air campaign deeper into Lebanon aimed at rocket, drone, and command infrastructure north of the Litani. The intent would be to reestablish deterrence and push Hezbollah’s launch footprint away from major Israeli population centers without triggering a full-scale war. Confirmation would come from repeated Israeli airstrikes well beyond the immediate border belt, including in the Bekaa and southern suburbs, accompanied by public framing around red-line enforcement; a sudden negotiated de-escalation or UN-mediated arrangement could forestall such action. This campaign would risk broader regional involvement and significant civilian displacement in southern Lebanon.

## Drivers

- Hezbollah’s precision campaign against Israeli northern air-defense assets
- Reports of rockets hitting Kiryat Shmona and aiming at Iron Dome launchers
- Emerging trend of Israel–Hezbollah confrontation evolving beyond traditional red lines
