## Prediction

Within seven days, Hezbollah will likely escalate rocket, ATGM, and drone harassment against newly established or expanded IDF positions around Al‑Awaida and adjacent sectors, as Israel tests a de facto buffer line inside Lebanon. This will not yet amount to all-out war but will normalize daily fire exchanges, raise misfire risk into deeper Lebanese urban areas, and increase pressure on Israeli border communities already under frequent alerts. The pattern will strain UNIFIL and embolden hardliners on both sides arguing that only decisive action will change the calculus. Confirmation would be a sustained uptick in cross-border incidents and additional Israeli ground footholds; denial would be a negotiated pullback or a freeze at current engagement levels.

## Drivers

- IDF flag on Al‑Awaida Hill and reported maneuvers toward Majdal Zoun
- Israeli vows not to withdraw from security zones in Lebanon
- Recent multiple strikes on Al-Bayyad, Kfar Tabnit, Dibbine
