This the 5th or 6th round of one off air attacks on Afghanistan in the past 4 years, alongwith shelling on the border. That's about as far as Pakistan can go and has been insufficient to compel the Taliban to change behavior or stop its support of TTP or BLA.
Grandiose schemes of occupying Afghan territory or a sustained air campaign or removing the Taliban from power via another insurgency remain pipedreams given the country's financial constraints.
Once we go beyond the forced patriotism is when we ask the uncomfortable questions
1.When GHQ was attacked, when Mehran base was Attacked why didn't Pak Army conduct strikes in Afghanistan then inspire of the fact that that regime was openly pro India and Anti Pakistan
2.We all accuse India of formenting terrorism in Pakistan.Why doesn't Pakistan conduct air strikes in India
I guess for the dollar generals discretion is the better part of valour when up against standing armies
