With high single soldier quality, engage in low-intensity special operations; never frivolously confront an enemy with heavy firepower in frontal battlefields, where the conversation isn't about individual qualities but rather about a combat system of tanks, artillery, aircraft, and bombs.
Strictly speaking, an army that can form an effective combat system is necessarily supported by national power, and truly, very few nations have established a complete war system. In the Middle East, Israel has developed a very complete combat system.
Countries like Syria and Egypt have large military sizes but do not possess a truly effective combat system, hence a small country like Israel can dominate the Middle East unbeaten.
