What are you talking about? ISIS' objective is to establish a world-wide caliphate. They choose the easy targets - places where there is chaos and a power vacuum.
Israel most definitely does not have chaos and a power vacuum. It has working and experienced military forces, modern equipment, etc. ISIS trying to invade Israel at this point would be utter stupidity.
Alright then explain us why they perform violent terrorist attacks in EU and USA, is there choas and power vacuum in France, Spain, Germany, England or USA ?
Recruitment. The Islamic State recruited from extreme fundamentalist muslims who were ready to be convinced to join a fight to reestablish the caliphate. Attacks in the EU and the US projected a worldwide reach that suggested that the Islamic State, as opposed to some other state like for example Turkey, was on track to reestablish the caliphate. The recruits would then travel to the middle east to fight with the Islamic State's core.
That doesn't make sense to me, in order to be Islamic caliph you have to be recognized by religious representatives of each Muslim state. Let's for a second we assume they dont count Turkey as a Muslim state since she's secular and Iran for being Shia but how Saudi Arabia will recognize them they're hostile even to Saudi royal family they're promising to free holy land from Saudis.
Think about a Pope who's hostile to every single Christian on all over the world.
In order to be Caliph someone have to be recognized by all Muslims and he must have religious authority on them. A terrorist can't be caliph, there is an attitude to show every Muslim as radical blood thirsty terrorists in that policy to serve Bagdadi's self proclaimed caliph as something respected by Muslims.
