I think so.

They have done it once and will again. Should be better theater than 2006

The 2006 Lebanon war was a disaster for Israel. With what is happening in Syria and Egypt, attacking Hezbollah directly is a bad idea and Israel knows it. Maybe they will just continue to pick off high-level targets in both Iran and Lebanon. The only wild card here is the collapse of the ruling coalition and probable early elections. But I don't think a foolhardy war that duplicates a recent failure is something that will resonate with Israeli voters. Maybe we'll see a bombing or two but even that is risky with Hezbollah's love of civilian shields.

What is sad is that while Israel assassinates Iranian nuclear scientists on their home turf, Iran/Hezbollah botches assassination attempts and terrorist attacks abroad. This is their first "success" after a long string of failures and misses.
