## Prediction

Within 7 days, Israel and Hezbollah are likely to escalate beyond sporadic border clashes into a more systematic campaign targeting each other’s air-defense systems, radar sites, and rear-area bases. Hezbollah will increase precision drone and rocket attacks on Israeli air-defense batteries and northern bases, while Israel will conduct deeper air and missile strikes on Lebanese air-defense nodes and logistics hubs, including around Beirut and the Bekaa. This mutual degradation effort will raise the probability of a sudden shift from containable skirmishing to multi-city rocket exchanges and potential ground incursions. Confirmation would be repeated attacks explicitly claiming air-defense or base targets; denial would be a negotiated or tacit reduction in deep-strike activity.

## Drivers

- Trend: Israel–Hezbollah border war shifting toward air defense and base degradation
- Order for IDF strikes on Dahieh and ongoing Hezbollah FPV drone use
- Normalization of high-intensity precision drone warfare on the northern front
