## Prediction

As Israel renews ground operations near Nabatieh and Ali al‑Taher, Hezbollah is likely to sustain or slightly increase its use of anti‑tank guided missiles and short‑range rockets against IDF units and staging areas within 24 hours. This will keep cross‑border fire near a level that threatens communities in northern Israel while avoiding strikes that would clearly trigger Israeli deep attacks into Beirut or the Bekaa Valley. The tactical result is a grinding attritional battle that offers neither side a clean win, but drags in more assets and raises civilian exposure on both sides of the border. Confirmation would be continued ATGM strike videos and reports of rocket salvos coinciding with any Israeli ground movement; disconfirmation would be a sudden, verified lull in Hezbollah fire despite ongoing IDF pushes.

## Drivers

- OSINT describing multiple successful Hezbollah ambushes on Israeli armor columns in recent hours
- Reports of drones over Beirut indicating Israel is probing deeper but still calibrated
- Pattern of Hezbollah tit‑for‑tat responses to each renewed IDF ground attempt
