## Prediction

Within seven days, Hezbollah and allied militias in Syria and Palestinian factions in Gaza are likely to step up harassment of Israeli security zones with more frequent rockets, mortars, and limited precision drone or ATGM attacks on IDF outposts and patrol routes. Israel will respond with targeted airstrikes and artillery, seeking to punish without triggering a full-scale offensive, but any mass-casualty incident could rapidly erode political restraint. Sustained friction will keep reservists mobilized and raise the probability that a local event—such as a guided strike on an Israeli town or an IDF convoy—tips into a broader operation in one theater. Confirmation would be a measurable uptick in daily incidents and IDF retaliatory strikes; denial would be unexpected ceasefire understandings brokered by external actors.

## Drivers

- Netanyahu’s pledge to maintain open-ended security zones with ‘freedom of action’
- Pattern of militias testing newly established or expanded buffer zones
- Regional actors’ interest in bleeding Israel without inviting total war
- Recent small-scale but persistent cross-border attacks
