There's not enough mass of force for them to be suitable. I think the F-16s will be used to patrol against cruise-missiles, glide-bombs, and the bombers launching them. Or, alternatively, kept in safe harbor until a healthy ground offensive can be launched wherein the F-16s can provide ground-support.
I think the offensive aims in this attack are small enough that risking them isn't warranted.
