## Prediction

Over the next 24 hours, localized escalation along the Lebanon–Israel border is likely, with further Hezbollah FPV and explosive drone launches against IDF positions and Israeli territory, followed by rapid Israeli air or artillery retaliation into southern Lebanon and Western Beqaa. The latest Hezbollah drone that injured Israeli civilians and concurrent IAF strike in Sahmar suggest the tacit ceasefire understandings are eroding. However, both parties are likely to keep engagements below the threshold of large-scale ground incursions or deep-strike campaigns. A sudden broad Israeli air campaign into Lebanon remains a lower-probability but high-consequence tail risk.

## Drivers

- Recent Hezbollah explosive drone injuring Israelis inside Israeli territory
- Israel’s immediate retaliatory airstrikes in Lebanon’s Western Beqaa
- Trend of Hezbollah’s maturing precision/FPV strike campaign on border assets
- Israeli signaling of readiness to strike Iran again, raising regional tension
