## Prediction

Across the next 30 days, the Israel–Lebanon–Syria front is likely to see a gradual uptick in the scale and geographic spread of engagements, including more frequent drone and rocket launches into northern Israel, deeper Israeli airstrikes into Lebanon and Syria, and limited cross-border special operations. Civilian and infrastructure damage will rise, particularly to energy, communications, and transport nodes in southern Lebanon and southwestern Syria. However, both Israel and Hezbollah will likely calibrate actions to avoid triggering a large-scale, multi-front regional war while they remain preoccupied with other priorities.

## Drivers

- Sustained trends of drone-centric limited war on the Lebanon front and Israeli ground movement near Golan
- Recent mortar shelling, airstrikes (e.g., Toul) and helicopter rescue incidents indicating active operations
- Ongoing coercive bargaining between Iran, Israel, and the US makes the front a pressure lever but also a risk
- No credible stabilization process mentioned in the feed
