OK, but I think you give them far too much credit. Overrunning a poorly organized and motivated army like Iraq's, which is still in its infancy is not the same task as wearing down a supremely advanced, trained, equipped and motivated army.
Can't argue with numbers and there are hundreds of thousands of fighters estimated to be there. And these guys are trained, equipped, and very motivated. Meanwhile Israel utterly failed to achieve their objectives in their past two wars and their citizens are so traumatized from their government's belligerence and blowback that their public spaces are empty.
One startling fact: Israel's enemies fired the last shots of the past two wars they were involved in. They have no control over the situation they're in.
