Nor is it 1973 (the last Israeli-Arab war). However, I agree with your
premise. It's not that I think the Arabs have produced better fighting
army,
but that weapons have changed and distances have become shorter. Just as
even the U.S. can't fight an efficient 2 front war, as relatively minor as
the enemy is, I'm sure the Israelis would not find it easy either.
