## Prediction

Over the next 24 hours, Israel is likely to continue or slightly intensify air and artillery strikes against Hezbollah positions and infrastructure in southern Lebanon despite the conditional halt in direct Iran–Israel strikes. Hezbollah units and surrounding civilian communities near Tyre, Kharayeb, and Khirbet al-Dweir will bear the brunt, with further damage to housing, local roads, and potential displacement. This keeps the Lebanon front as the primary trigger for renewed Iranian missile involvement, sustaining high alert levels for U.S. and European forces in the Eastern Mediterranean. Confirmation would come from additional reported Israeli sorties and munitions impacts in southern Lebanon; denial would be a verifiable, hours‑long cessation of strikes accompanied by official de-escalation statements from Jerusalem.

## Drivers

- Recent Israeli strikes near Tyre and Kharayeb following Iran's conditional pause
- Iranian warnings specifically tied to southern Lebanon operations
- Historical Israeli pattern of leveraging airpower against Hezbollah during diplomatic flux
