I would guess not.

After the disaster that was the Israeli-Lebanon War and the overall turmoil in the Israeli military over the tactics and planning used in that war I could not see them pulling off a major operation for some time.

As for using an airstrike against Iranian weapons sites I think that there is not a very high probability of that happening. After th 1982 attacks on Iraqi nuclear weapons sites there was a general outrage that almost led to another war in the Middle East with the heightened tensions now I don't think Israel can risk another war especially after their military power was curtailed, to a much more successful degree than by larger powers in all the Arab-Israeli Wars, by Hezbollah.

Then again we don't even know if Israel will be around by 2017 or 2020. A lot can happen in 10-15 years.
