Low Probability of Israeli Involvement in Syrian Conflict
(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - Intelligence experts rate the possibility that Syrian President Assad will want to avenge an American attack by choosing an Israeli target as unlikely, since that it would achieve exactly the opposite of what Assad wants. The Syrian regime is interested in shortening the conflict with the Americans, in order to contain the damage and return to the battle with the rebels. If Assad involves Israel in this conflict, it will increase the danger to the regime - and even threaten Assad's personal survival.
