I'm Predicting:

Hezbollah has a few surprises for Israel.

One surprise is that they have the ability to hit Tel Aviv with weapons that have significant explosive heads.
It's no surprise that Hezbollah wants to hit Tel Aviv, they have already hit Afula and the Jezreel Valley which are only a stone - or a rocket throw away.

Another "surprise" is that they have is a variety of guided weapons even better than the one used to attack the Israeli Navy vessel.
Hezbollah probably has weapons that will neither free-fly nor free-fall like katyushas, but are guided missiles that can identify and seek out a target.

The definitional distinction between a rocket and a missile is that
a rocket free-falls
a missile has a guidance system

Nasrallah and Hezbollah want to hold on to some of their surprises in order to maximize their effect later on in the conflict.
Hopefully, Israel's air force will find Hezbollah's weapons cache before the weapons catch-up to Israel.
