they have been aimed at Israel from beginning of their creation, Israelis just want to bring some excuse for their attacks, some sort of damage control in the world's mind. also I saw the video of targeted areas, some easy targets in open areas, the goal of these attacks has been provoking Syria into a war for sure.
I am sorry, but what you're saying makes no sense at all.
1. interests: Israel has no interest starting a war while Asad and FSA are fighting each other. Syria is becoming weaker everyday, why intervene?
2. However Israel clearly has interest in preventing advanced arms shipment to Hezballah. Israel managed to deter Assad in the Past, not soe with Hezballah. It makes sense that Syria is paying back Hezballah for it's great help with missiles, rockets and advances weapons. This answers the why now question.
3. If indeed it was Israel's decision to attack Syria they would use max power in the initial strike, probably mainly against Missile bases and Chemical weapons storage facilities. However we clearly see that this didn't happen, since most of the strikes were in a limited region along the Damascus - Beirut highway. Connecting this to point no. 2. Imagine something like 1967 war.
4. The rhetoric - to me it sounds like Israel is trying to signal the attack was against Iran and it's proxy Hezaballah, not Syria. This is probably the reason why the Israeli jets fired their missiles all the way from Lebanon, while there's hardly seems like there is a good reason for that.
5. too bad you let your personal prejudice influence your analysis.
