## Prediction

Over the next 30 days, the Hezbollah–Israel confrontation is likely to stabilize into an entrenched low-intensity pattern characterized by daily skirmishes, limited rocket fire, and periodic precision strikes on tactical targets rather than a full-scale war. US–Iran de-escalation incentives and the new MoU’s hostilities clause will restrain both Tehran and Jerusalem from authorizing large offensives, even as local commanders probe each other. Civilian displacement and military readiness postures will become semi-permanent along the border, imposing sustained economic and psychological costs on both societies. Confirmation would be consistent incident reporting without major escalation spikes; denial would be a sudden surge in large rocket salvos or a ground incursion beyond narrow buffer zones.

## Drivers

- Emerging assessment that Hezbollah–Israel confrontation will persist at low intensity
- US constraints on Israeli operations to protect broader US–Iran de-escalation
- Iran’s interest in preserving sanctions relief while retaining deterrence via Hezbollah
