Executive summary
Across 30 days, the Israel–Hezbollah front is likely to remain a low-intensity conflict zone with periodic escalations—short salvos of rockets or drones and targeted Israeli airstrikes—but no full-scale war. Both sides will calibrate actions to preserve their deterrence narratives without triggering uncontrollable escalation, focusing strikes on military infrastructure and frontier zones. Civilian casualties and property damage will accumulate, but at levels below those that would force international crisis diplomacy.
