Wondering if Isreal might head East towards Damascus. This would be an interesting ploy. I personally don't think Syria has the stomach for war nor do I think they could stand up to the IDF. One can dream.

There would likely be a division of US troops in Syria first if there were to be hostilities there. Aside from aerial incursions, I doubt there will be a single Israeli soldier who will step foot on Syrian soil no matter how deep things get. We've just got too much hardware on the ground there for us to let that happen.

The diplomacy afterward would be a nightmare.
