## Prediction

Within 30 days, the Israel–Hezbollah conflict is likely to settle into a pattern of recurrent but geographically constrained engagements, dominated by drones, precision rockets, and counter‑drone measures rather than large‑scale ground maneuvers. Both sides will adjust tactics: Hezbollah will further refine FPV tactics and camouflage, while Israel will integrate layered anti‑drone nets, EW, and interceptors. Civilian areas near the border will remain at heightened risk, but major urban centers will face only occasional, calibrated attacks. External powers will increase diplomatic pressure to prevent spillover into Syria or a direct Iran–Israel clash.

## Drivers

- Emerging trend of Hezbollah FPV drone campaign and Israel’s counter‑drone deployments
- CENTCOM theater assessment of HIGH but not yet existential threat
- No evidence of imminent decision for large‑scale ground incursion
