## Prediction

Within 24 hours, Israel is likely to conduct additional targeted UAV or ground operations in the Khan Yunis sector to degrade remaining Hamas networks and prevent reconstitution. These actions will prioritize high-value individuals and tunnel infrastructure but will occur in densely populated or partially rebuilt areas, keeping collateral damage risk significant. Continued kinetic activity will harden Hamas narratives and may trigger localized rocket fire or attacks from Gaza or adjacent fronts. Confirmation would be IDF announcements or local casualty reports from Khan Yunis; a sudden declared operational pause would counter this forecast.

## Drivers

- Recent precision UAV strikes and ground raids in Khan Yunis with ongoing demolitions
- Persistently elevated CENTCOM threat environment and multi-front Israeli concerns
- Israeli operational pattern of sustained pressure on remaining Hamas cells
