Adding to what the other guy said, Syria really doesn't wanna get into a war right now. They still haven't unified the armed factions or rebuilt the economy or really gotten themselves in any shape to go to war with Israel, and Israel knows that. They're doing this to weaken the Syrian government and, hopefully, push the country back into civil war.

Israel and turkey, the greatest thorn in all our sides. Why do they have to fuck up every good thing in the ME?
