## Prediction

Over the next 24 hours, direct strikes on Beirut’s Dahiyeh district and Hezbollah fire into deep Israeli territory are likely to pause, while lower-intensity exchanges continue in southern Lebanon and northern Israel. Both sides will test the U.S.-brokered understanding without fully committing: Israel will keep hitting tactical targets in the south, and Hezbollah may maintain limited harassing fire near the border. This creates a deceptive sense of de-escalation while preserving the potential for rapid relapse into heavier conflict if either party judges the other as exploiting the lull. Confirmation would be a marked reduction in strikes near Beirut and major Israeli urban areas but sustained tactical engagements in the south; denial would be immediate renewed salvoes into Israeli cities or Israeli airstrikes on Beirut suburbs.

## Drivers

- Lebanon’s presidency announcing Hezbollah acceptance of a U.S.-brokered mutual halt in attacks
- Netanyahu’s public warnings about striking Beirut if rockets resume
- Continued Israeli strikes and artillery in southern Lebanon despite the announcement
