Before we send the IDF’s 36th Armor Division to occupy Damascus, we should stop and examine the Israeli interest regarding the situation in Syria in light of recent events.
Since the devastating images from the battles in the town of Idlib were published Monday, Israel is once again facing a moral dilemma regarding the required action in such a situation. With all the grief over the loss of lives, especially of innocent children, Israel should weigh its options carefully and responsibly and ask itself whether its strategic and tactical situation changed on Tuesday, and whether it requires a ground invasion or “noisy” Air Force strikes ...

It’s all about priorities. Israel has made it clear that Shia Iran is their greatest existential enemy. Shia Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon is number two.

“Israel doesn’t need to do anything. Just sit back and watch”
If you capture Damascus now, then you are in charge of defeating the whole witches brew of Jihadi and Iranian groups in Syria.
Let them punch each other out, until one victor finally crawls badly wounded to victory - then take over.

Israel is very sensitive to the existence and possible transfer of chemical weapons on it's border. The risk cannot be entirely mitigated from the air.
Assad is so reviled and so vile that no one but putin and the mad mullahs of Iran will rally to him...oh, and Hezbollah.
