Notice the pattern? De-escalation is only called for when Israel defends herself against Islamic regimes.

Defends itself by launching missiles at a foreign country? Believable

It's almost like they were Iranian targets and even the Syrian reporting says it was almost exclusively foreigners killed

Has the question even been answered whether Israel was actually defending "itself"? ...was it "defending" it's military installations in the Israeli occupied Golan Heights (Syrian Land) which was under attack? ...was it defending against an actual attack on Israel (so incredibly unlikely, unless a retaliation strike against weapons positions that had attacked Iranian positions)?
A Syrian independent journalist analysed the situation well. He's familiar with the different regions in the Golan Heights. Apparently there are some Israeli held, some Syrian held, and a DMZ, or something along those lines. I'm not 100% clear.
