## Prediction

Over the next seven days, the current spike north of the Litani is likely to evolve into a sustained low-intensity war stretching from the Mediterranean to the Golan, with daily rocket, drone, and artillery exchanges. Both sides will avoid a full-scale ground invasion but will normalize deep strikes on each other’s tactical rear, causing steady attrition of infrastructure and morale. This entrenched confrontation will divert Israeli resources from Gaza and the West Bank, while increasing the probability that Iranian advisors and assets in Lebanon are targeted, potentially widening the conflict. Confirmation would be persistent cross-front fire and IDF public planning for prolonged northern operations; denial would be a mediated ceasefire or rapid reversion to sporadic, localized skirmishes.

## Drivers

- IDF operations beyond the Litani and heavy air activity over Lebanon
- Hezbollah’s renewed rocket attacks on Safed and northern towns
- Trend designation: escalating, drone-heavy cross-border attrition
