Israel have one of the most (heavily subsidized) advanced militaries on the planet.
The Ottomen brought cavalry to WW1. They had muzzle-loaded smoothbore flintlockes still in service at the start of the war (pic rel).
The Ottomen were jingoistic aggressors out of blind arrogance, the Israelis do it knowing that they have the full weight of the US military industrial complex behind them.
