re: With ISIS carving out more territory each day, why haven't they attacked Israel?

They've actually been moving fairly slowly and haven't really greatly expanded that much since their little blitzkrieg last year.
It would appear this is a smart approach though. The "legitimacy" of ISIS grows every day they exist and they are playing the long game. The game is to win more than you lose which is why they launch counter offensives immediately after set backs. The longer they hold the territory, the more they intertwine themselves into the fabric of society and put in roots.
Once they build a stable power base in their current territories, they can continually expand into more and more hostile areas with a more stable logistical supply chain as well.
I imagine long term though their leadership structure breaks down and some type of civil war occurs. Eventually there will be a disconnect between the local ISIS powers who are happy with what they have and the foreign + radical members who want expansion

ISIS isn't that far from Israel as you can see in the map. They've made their way to Egypt and further into North Africa far beyond Israel. It's not a stretch to think that a group who specializes in blending into the enemy to wreak havoc with suicide bombings and mass slaughters couldn't easily make their way to Israel thru Jordan, Syria, Lebanon for a suicide attack.
