Since the Yom Kippur War, Israel's conflicts have been confined to fighting terrorist groups such as the PLO, Hezbollah, and Hamas. They have not attempted to conquer their neighbors, but only to suppress what they see as threats to the State of Israel. In that regard they were successful, at least in the short term. Victory is often defined differently depending on what side of the conflict you are on, and so I do see your side on this. In recent decades, it is not unusual for both sides to claim victory. War is much more complicated than it was 60 years ago. Nations don't even bother to actually "declare war" against each other and no one seems to agree on who is a "soldier" or a "terrorist" any more.
