If the Israelis have enough PGM's this won't be an issue to their TACAIR. Speed and altitude quickly degrade shot opportunities for manpads against fighters.

What they need to watch out for is their helicopters. Use of helicopters as strike platforms (in front of friendly ground forces) will put them at risk.
