In Iraq, there was an air campaign because the allies had to rapidly gain air superiority and then achieve and maintain supremacy so that the ground campaign could proceed and the Ground element could be the supported commander. I argue that has already been achieved in this campaign as there was no enemy Air force to begin with, unless you count a handful of paramotors, and the IAF is in a position to maintain a constant presence over the battlefield.
Unless another nation becomes involved, that is unlikely to change. As I see it, the only significant challenges left are addressing this threat and support to the Ground Commander.
