## Prediction

Within 24 hours, the IDF is likely to conduct initial precision airstrikes on selected Hezbollah assets in Beirut’s Dahieh district, focusing on command nodes and weapons depots rather than area bombing. The operation will test Hezbollah’s air-defense and rocket retaliation thresholds while signaling resolve to the Israeli public under wartime political pressure. Civilian risk will be high due to density of the area, even if strikes remain targeted, and any Hezbollah response with medium-range rockets toward major Israeli cities would quickly broaden the conflict. Confirmation would be documented strikes in Dahieh and Hezbollah statements of retaliation; denial would be an Israeli choice to confine activity to psychological operations and border strikes.

## Drivers

- Israeli leadership’s public order to strike Hezbollah targets in Dahieh
- Initial civilian departures from Dahieh following those warnings
- Trend of Israel–Hezbollah border war normalizing precision drone warfare
- Israeli domestic political pressure and Knesset dissolution bill advancing
