Israel conducts significant military escalation in Lebanon within 48 hours of Hezbollah firing, citing self-defence

Reasoning

The self-defence clause was written for this. If Hezbollah fires first, Israel has legal cover, forces in position, and 7/7 documented pattern of escalating at every opportunity. Trump cannot object - his own terms authorised it. Sabotage pattern holds at 8/8 with Hezbollah's fingerprints on it.

Resolution

Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon continued throughout the truce extension period under the self-defence clause. The April 23 three-week extension was paired with continuing strikes - exactly the pattern P059 predicted. Sabotage pattern now 8/8.
