If you plan to go in a third time, you really, really have to give your people
a good reason. Especially with the desertion and refusal to fight problems the the IDF has has the last few years.
The Israeli public for the most part understand that what went down in Lebanon is not yet over, every weeks even the liberally-minded papers report that Hizballah has rearmed to levels higher than before the war. The IDF's problems in terms of morale were partially due to a lack of reserve training that made soldiers lose confidence. Reserve manpower training has increased by 33% according to the IDF, and they say that they are integrating the the lessons of the Lebanon war.
