That's a tall order for Israel to deal with on its own. The Israelis are attacking from their close interior lines. They may want to occupy some of Southern Lebanon for a while if they can't get totally rid of the Hezbollah, but I see Syria as a "raid." Iran can only fire missiles.

There will be a lot of reluctance on the part of Sunnis to help the Shias so the conflagration may be limited to Syria and Iran. That's a tall order for Israel to deal with on its own. Israel is not on its own. We are in Iraq with our supply lines, airfields , tankers, etc. Iraq is blocked . Syria is isolated. We supply Israel. They hammer hamas, hezbollah, Syria. Iran ends up the big loser and if they are irrational they lose bigger as we are next door. A perfect strategic and tactical situation for Israel and US. Pay me now or pay me later. Now is the time.
