During the Lebanon War the more hawkish elements in Washington wanted Tel Aviv to expand the conflict to include Syria, George W Bush mentions in bus memoirs thats the decision not to do so was wrong.


What would happen if the Israeli do so. It's now a war against a nation state and while Israel has traditionally done well against Syria, 2006 war was one where lots of things went wrong.

1) Where would they attack. An armored assault into the Golan sector followed by airstrikes in Damascus.

2) Syrian response, do they retaliate with missile fire into Israel? Any shocks for Israel, like the Gazelles were in 1982?

3) Would the US get drawn in?

4) How would the IDF logistics handle a major attack, logistics never been an IDF strength and in 2006 they were pretty bad.
