I don't know where you're coming up with this fantasy...but urban warfare is where the IDF is arguably the strongest.
Iran lost the best military mind they had when Trump zapped him into the phantom zone. Their response was to call ahead and make sure they didn't accidentally kill any US forces in a strike they made to save face....and then they accidentally shot down a Ukrainian commercial airliner.
With Biden trailing in the polls and a real chance of Trump being reelected....I don't think they'll roll the dice on a conflict with a nuclear power like Israel.
They won't. I know they think Biden is weak and that may have factored into this attack...
The reality is we're pretty friendly militarily with many of those states, including Jordan.
AQABA, Jordan—Members of the U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), Colorado National Guard (CONG), and in partnership with the Jordanian government, Jordan Armed Forces (JAF), and the National Center for Security and Crisis Management (NCSCM) participated in Field Training Exercise 2023...

I don't see Jordan lending more than the military equivalent of a Hallmark "get well soon card". Saudi Arabia buys their weapons from us...to bomb Libya back into the stone age. Turkey won't move, they won't want us rearming Kurds and Kurds will gladly shoot at pretty much anyone we ask as a favor for rearming them. Egypt hasn't shown any sympathy for Palestinians and frankly, I'd say they're Palestine's most likely supporters. I think Qatar might have been willing to covertly help them in the past but ever since those Trump Era middle east accords....I'd be surprised if they still did. Other nations like Syria, Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan aren't likely to do anything simply because they're in various stages of war or post war recovery. In fact, Afghanistan getting a free cache of US weapons can actually work in Israel's favor because the Taliban hates Iran....and should they move against Israel the Taliban may be tempted to move against Iran.
Obviously, I don't know you or why you have these fantasies of Palestinian victory but it seems rather obvious that if your opening strategy in a military conflict is to abduct hostages in hope that your enemy won't turn you into a smoldering pile of ash....you clearly aren't even ready for a battle in the "streets" let alone a victory.
More than 2,500 Israelis have sought sanctuary in Cyprus where the local Jewish community has come to their aid, the chief rabbi on the island said on Thursday.

2500 isn't exactly a lot of Israelies....not to mention the Jewish people entering Israel to do their part.
Sucks in the Arab nations?
I'm not an expert on middle east geopolitics but more Arab nations than ever are maintaining friendly relations with Israel. When they had to fight alone with weapons and intelligence supplied by their foreign allies like the US and Britain....Israel mopped the floor with a coalition of Arab states in a humbling defeat that happened in near record time. I know that if we go back enough decades....Arab states would openly threaten Israel, but that's died down a lot over the years. Now they're more interested in building strategic alliances with Israel with few dedicated enemies like Iran. Again, Iran had a competent if not brilliant military general in Soliemani....but now he's just a crater in a road somewhere thanks to Trump.
