With fronts ripe for conflict to break out at any moment, the IDF’s ability to operate effectively on multiple fronts simultaneously is crucial for Israel to deal with the region’s unpredictability.

 Wednesday night was a busy one for the Israel Defense Forces, striking Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip while almost simultaneously attacking Islamic State positions in southern Syria.

The strikes in Gaza came after an IDF officer was shot by sniper fire in an ambush near Kibbutz Kissufim. The officer, who was struck less than a week after an IDF soldier was killed by sniper fire in the same area, was evacuated in moderate condition by helicopter to Beersheba’s Soroka hospital.

The strikes against the Islamic State were in retaliation for two errant BM-21 Grad rockets fired by the Islamic State against regime troops landed in the Kinneret.

They were caught off guard at first, but they did OK in 1973.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

With soldiers like her, they'll do fine this time too.

As  "Bibi" Netanyahu stated in the eloquent speech he made to Congress ... "Israel will stand even if alone".  I believe Israel will stand period and maybe perhaps be the last 'men' standing.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Since formation, Israel's premise has been they can't afford to even lose one war.

Since Trump officially recognized Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel the Knesset has brought forth the Israeli Nation State legislation.

Israel is Officially a Jewish State and multi culturalism is Off The Table.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Druze_in_Israel

In 1973, Amal Nasser el-Din founded the Zionist Druze Circle,[12][13] a group whose aim was to encourage the Druze to support the state of Israel fully and unreservedly.[14] Today, thousands of Israeli Druze belong to Druze Zionist movements.[15]

In 2007, Nabiah A-Din, mayor of Kisra-Sumei, rejected the "multi-cultural" Israeli constitution proposed by the Israeli Arab organization Adalah: "The state of Israel is a Jewish state as well as a democratic state that espouses equality and elections. We invalidate and reject everything that the Adalah organization is requesting", he said. According to A-din, the fate of the Druze and the Circassians in Israel is intertwined with that of the state. "This is a blood pact, and a pact of the living. We are unwilling to support a substantial alteration to the nature of this state, to which we tied our destinies prior to its establishment", he said.[16] As of 2005 there were 7,000 registered members in the Druze Zionist movement.[15] In 2009, the movement held a Druze Zionist youth conference with 1,700 participants.[17]

In a survey conducted in 2008 by Dr. Yusuf Hassan of Tel Aviv University found that out of 764 Druze participants, more than 94% identify as "Druze-Israelis" in the religious and national context.[18][19]

On 30 June 2011, Haaretz reported that a growing number of Israeli Druze were joining elite units of the military, leaving the official Druze battalion, Herev, under-staffed. This trend has led to calls for its disbandment.

On May 15, 2015, it was announced that the Druze battalion Herev would be shut down, thereby allowing Druze soldiers to integrate into the rest of the IDF, a wish that was relayed to IDF senior staff by leaders in the Druze community as well as former Herev battalion commanders. After the July 2015 Draft, the IDF no longer listed the Druze unit as an option. By September 2015, the battalion had been disbanded, and its soldiers joined to other units.[20]

Druze also serve in elite units of the IDF such as the Sayeret Matkal, and there are three Druze combat pilots serving in the Israeli Air Force.[21]
