The regular army still sees semi regular action, but kids suck today, I know that I'd be a terrible soldier.
1) Why do you need large ground armies? Israel has the option of sending in drones armed with bombs capable of leveling entire city blocks.

2) The Arab armies are likely to suffer from the same deficiences. If Assad tells his army to charge an Israeli artillery gun line, the soldiers are likely to tell him to shove it.
