• Awaiting deadline 30% Localized Retaliatory Incident

  Watch for: An official Hamas spokesperson confirms a 'small retaliatory operation' in a press briefing. · Israeli Defense Forces confirm a security breach in the West Bank requiring a localized sweep.

• Awaiting deadline 25% International Legal Escalation
