I'm not sure ISIS will head towards Israel (at the moment) as they know Israel, like Iran won't take any crap and any kind of incursion will see a full scale retaliation against ISIS, rather than the current fairly limited Air Strikes.
Far more likely that ISIS will look to expand in areas with less resistance, such as through North Africa - Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Sudan, Ethiopia etc... Lots of existing groups that would be happy to align themselves with ISIS just to gain power in their own regions, whilst giving ISIS a huge area for them to hide away from the US/Coalition strikes.....
As for Putin, he is also empire building but I'm not convinced he is stupid enough to start anything against NATO, but he does worry me and I do think that he 'could' crack and do something stupid if he is continually pushed.....
