They’re trying to get sympathy from the other Arab states and turn this not into a Syria vs. rebels but Muslims vs. Israel thing. This is the danger of Israel’s strikes, of making the rebels seem aligned with Israel, and making other Muslim states lower their opposition to Assad. I don’t think it’ll work— just as the Muslim states by and large didn’t fall for Saddam’s attack on Israel as broadening the conflict— but it’s a risk.
