## Prediction

Within seven days, Hezbollah is likely to perform a limited, visible redeployment of forces south of the Litani River while covertly leaving small units, caches, and drone teams in forward positions. This will allow Beirut and Washington to claim progress on the ceasefire while Hezbollah preserves its deterrent and capacity for rapid reactivation. The IDF will respond with persistent ISR and occasional precision strikes on suspected remaining assets, keeping the front in a tense but lower-intensity standoff. Confirmation would be Lebanese Army or UNIFIL videos of withdrawals paired with ongoing Israeli strike claims; denial would be either a full, verifiable withdrawal or a rapid return to mass rocket fire.

## Drivers

- US-brokered framework mandating Hezbollah withdrawal south of the Litani
- Hezbollah’s history of maintaining covert infrastructure despite formal agreements
- Immediate Israeli strike after ceasefire announcement showing deep mistrust
- Emerging trend: Hezbollah’s sophisticated drone use incentivizes Israel to maintain pressure
