This actually does a good job of explaining why Israel talks such a big game but won't actually go through with the ground invasion: They can't. They don't have the ability to actually engage another army, or even an armed civillian force, so all they do is drop bombs or take pot shots at civvies.

Pretty much, and given how US is now stretched thin after a year and a half in Ukraine, seems that Israel's bluff might get called this time around.
