"Are you thinking Jordan (South east) ?"

No, I was thinking of US assets in the Gulf States.

I didn't think of Israel as I just very much doubt that he would attack Israel
just because the US fired a few missiles at him.
1. If that was the case, why didn't he attack Israel when they dropped bombs
on the Nuclear Reactor ?

2. Israel has whipped his arse before and in all likelihood would do it again.
Israel would have nothing to lose if Syria attacked it and they have everything they need to turn Syria and it's military into a raging fireball with acceptable losses.

Do you really think he'd attack Israel knowing what he is likely to
cop back ?

He's already fighting a civil war, I doubt he wants a full blown war
with a neighbour as well.
