Israel is done with threat deterrence. The new doctrine is threat removal. Israel will prevent a repeat of southern Lebanon, with bloodthirsty terrorists right against the border threatening an October 7th style attack. That's what Hezbollah's defeated Radwan force was, with extensive fortifications and weapons stored with tunnels and barracks to facilitate a large scale ground invasion. Fortunately Israel had prepared the beeper operation and had ample intelligence to neutralize the organization afterwards. As for Syria, Israel will continue to work with allies within the territory of the former Assad regime. It's not a monoculture there, the future government there will need to be federated in order to succeed now that Assad's oppression of minorities is gone.
