I can see a lot of pilots turning in their wings before engaging the IAF.

Considering the IAF's kill ratio that is probably the safest option. These aren't the Iraqis that can barely fly their aircraft. Going up against the IAF is no easy kill. They have the same aircraft as the Americans, comparable or possibly better training, and better intel.

Exactly. If I were a fighter pilot in the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy or U.S. Marine Corps, and I was ordered to shoot down Israeli aircraft, I would refuse. Not because the Israelis would try to shoot ME down, but because it’s wrong for the U.S. to attack a close ally. Upon landing, I would resign my commission.
I’d probably be subject to court martial, but so be it.
