I see an Israeli advance to the line of Az Zahrani to the Northern tip of the occupied Golan Heights.

Thankfully Israel did not give the Golan back to Syria.

Israel might get a double bubble here by driving out Hezbolla and extending its northern security zone to include the Litani river

Source: Geographical Review, Jul93, Vol. 83 Issue 3, p229, 9p.

Access to the Litani River was a concern during Israel's formative years. The diaries of Moshe Sharett, an Israeli prime minister during the mid-1950s, reveal that Ben-Gurion and Moshe Dayan, chief of staff and defense minister, were strong advocates of Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon to the Litani River (Rabinovich 1985).

In the wake of the 1967 war and in view of Israeli territorial gains from three of its four neighbors, Dayan reiterated his long-standing opinion that Israel had achieved "provisionally satisfying frontiers, with the exception of those with Lebanon" (Hof 1985, 36).

Hell, come out of the Golan, put the Litani on your left flank and drive for Beirut.
