The IDF will be spread too thin to maintain the intensity of occupations in the West Bank and growing conflict along international borders
Their rapidly crumbling international support will take a massive hit from the brutality of such an assault and could prompt direct retaliation from Hezbollah
Many, many IDF soldiers will get fucking obliterated entering hyper dense urban combat against a million people with nothing left to lose

These three combine to create the likelihood that Israel would be utterly defeated in such an action. The IDF is a paper tiger when they aren't bombing an imprisoned civilian population.

Thoughts? Am I right or wrong with this take?

mandatory military service also means that the losses won't be confined to volunteers or military families. Support for war drops off pretty quick when it's your sons and daughters being shot at (except in the families which define their lifestyle around military service which in my opinion is a sickening human sacrifice ritual where people effectively sell their own children)
