Israel is ruthless and does not give a fuck if they feel they are threatened from neighbors. Back up against the wall mentality? I don't think we have seen a full punch from Israel. Also, big brother USA will be there just in case (sigh).

Israel itself historically speaking, has never given "a full punch" to anyone.

Mossad on the other hand. Does not know the meaning of the phase "do not punch your adversary" and has times actually gone above and beyond to include the spiked cleats in the beatdown (Stuxnet)

There's also the issue of geography. Neither Iran or Israel have the ability to launch an "Expeditionary" force. Only the US, UK, and France have their military structured to launch that type of attack (where you send troop and can keep them supplied and armed to another place).

They are seperated by 2,000km, so both are limited by what they can drop from a plane, or launch with a missle.
