The last time Israel went into Lebanon to fight Hezbollah, it didn’t work out so well.

I remember. I'm sure that the IDF took notes. And if it gets to that point, they'll probably get some help from the Americans. I think we'll threaten to assassinate Assad so he'll have to tell Hezbollah to knock it off. We know where Assad lives so it's possible to restrain Hezbollah, while you can't do that with Hamas because they're just like ISIS.

If the Muslims get in their minds Israel is on the ropes, then all bets are off, so what if Assad gets killed, then there is no one holding back Hezbollah, Iran would be urging them on and have been supplying them with Missiles that put all of Israel well within range.

Think about the chaos, the West Bank could erupt into a major fight.

10s of thousands of Muslims streaming across the border from Egypt or Jordan, doing nothing more than killing civilians would be hard to deal with.

Then you have Turkey potentially getting involved and you don’t know what Russia would do.

IMO, all those forces aligned at one time against Israel would be more than they could handle without major US involvement.
