## Prediction

Over the next week, the Lebanon–Israel border is likely to remain in a pattern of frequent but geographically contained exchanges of fire, even after Israel’s destruction of a major Hezbollah tunnel complex. Hezbollah will adapt by relying more on dispersed rocket launch cells and anti-tank teams, while Israel continues calibrated cross-border artillery and airstrikes and occasional deep strikes into Syria targeting supply lines. This configuration will keep northern Israel under intermittent rocket threat and maintain displacement in southern Lebanon but will stop short of a full-scale war barring a mass-casualty incident. Confirmation would be regular but limited rocket and artillery exchanges with no broad mobilization on either side; major barrages hitting key Israeli cities or large-scale IDF ground incursions into Lebanon would negate this forecast.

## Drivers

- Emerging trend of an unstable low-intensity conflict on the Lebanon–Israel front
- Recent IDF operations against Hezbollah tunnels and launch infrastructure
- Political incentives on both sides to avoid an all-out war while preserving deterrence
