Executive summary

In the next 24 hours, Hezbollah or allied groups are likely to fire limited salvoes of short-range rockets or anti-tank missiles at IDF positions or northern Israeli communities in retaliation for Israel's destruction of a major tunnel and underground launch complex near Majdal Zoun.
