Damascus, Bibi

Via Debka File a map of Iranian bases in Syria:

If Israel has a plan to drive Iran out of Syria, what is it?

Let's play armchair general.

We'll start with massive airstrikes, of course. These would first engage and destroy what remains of the Syrian Air Force and Syrian/Iranian SAM sites, especially the dreaded Russian S-300.

With control of the air established the IAF then strikes Syrian infrastructure. Readers will notice the great trunk road bisecting the country down through Damascus.

From there the IDF launches a ground incursion from the Golan toward Damascus. This comes in two prongs. The first prong of two brigades drives east along route 19 and destroys the two southern (purple) bases opposite the Golan. A second prong of three brigades crosses into Syria along Route 7 destroys the remaining purple base, and drives north to the (burgundy) Iranian Guards base at Shibani.

We've sent half the regular Israeli Army into Syria, leaving the other half to deal with Lebanon, should the need arise. This effort would be reinforced by reserve brigades mobilized when the war began.

The question is, what will Hezbollah do? Also, can Hamas be contained in the south while the IDF is rampaging in the north? Doing so would require intense diplomatic pressure from Egypt, no friends of Iran or Hamas.
