It's not as though the Israelis didn't see this coming ...

The Israeli army said it hit back by striking “dozens” of Iranian sites in Syria, targeting intelligence, storage and logistics as well as the origin of the rockets. Air-raid sirens were heard on the Israeli side of the Golan before the shelling and residents were told to stay in shelters. Israel is not seeking an escalation, a military spokesman said......
If I may respond to the "spokesman's" assertion about not seeking escalation, I'll offer that in the last few weeks, the Israelis have lobbed a few rounds into Syria at (reported) Iranian positions/facilities.
OK, the Iranian Quds force lobs a few rounds back at them.
So the Israelis lob a few back ... no, wait, they do indeed escalate. Dozens of targets isn't "a few."

Methinks the major protests too loudly ....
