Israel rushed to strengthen its rocket defense system in its northern border Sunday shielded two attacks on Syria for more than 48 hours - an unprecedented participation of Israel in the civil war in Syria after the upgrade, against possible retaliation.
Syria and its patron, Iran hinted that it might be retaliation, although the words in the official statement is relatively mild.
Despite new concerns of the local war, Israeli officials said that they will continue trying to stop what they see as Iran's efforts, the collapse of the Hezbollah militia in Lebanon, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime may be sent in advance of sophisticated weapons .
Israel has repeatedly threatened to intervene to stop the so-called "change the rules of the game" in the civil war in Syria, the Syrian-backed Hezbollah war stalemate in Israel in 2006, a one-month war arms transfers.
A lone air raid According to reports, the Hezbollah-led anti-aircraft missiles to destroy a group since January, Israel largely stay on the sidelines. This changed last weekend with a pair of air strikes near a large military installations near the Syrian capital of Damascus on Sunday morning, setting off a series of powerful explosions attack.
The Israeli government and military declined to comment. But a senior Israeli official said that air strikes target Fateh -110 missile shipments destined for Hezbollah. Iranian-made missiles flying deep into Israel and accuracy, and provide a powerful half-ton bomb. The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was on a secret military operations.
The Syrian government said the attack was "a flagrant violation of international law", in the Middle East "more dangerous." It also claimed to have proved that the Jewish state of Israel to combat insurgent groups trying to overthrow the Assad regime link.

Israeli Defense Ministry officials believe that Assad has little desire to open a new front with Israel when he was busy with the survival of his regime. More than 70,000 people have died since the March 2011 outbreak of the uprising against Assad, Israeli officials believe that it is only a matter of time before the overthrow of Assad.
However, Israel appears to be the threat of Syria. Israeli military deployed two batteries of the Iron Dome rocket defense system countries to the north on Sunday. Move it describes ongoing situation assessment "part."
Israel says Iron Dome shot down hundreds of incoming short-range rockets in the eight-day battle against Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip in November last year. Hezbollah has about 4,000 rockets were fired into Israel in the 2006 war, Israel believes that the Group now has tens of thousands of rockets and missiles.
Iron Dome deployment followed by a surprise Israel drill last week in the thousands of reservists simulation in the northern conflict. Israeli media reports about another possible signs, Israel closed the airspace in northern Israel over civilian flights on Sunday to step up security in overseas embassies. Israeli officials would not confirm any measures.
Reflect the concerns of ordinary Israelis, the country's postal service, which helps to decentralized government-issued gas masks, said demand jumped to the Sun normal levels four times.
Israeli Deputy Defense Minister Danny Canon, neither confirm nor deny the air raid. However, he said, the Israeli guard their own interests, and in the future will continue to do so. "
"Israel can not allow weapons in the hands of terrorist organizations, dangerous weapons, to enter," he told Army Radio.
Israeli Defense Ministry officials have been identified, they said a number of strategic weapons can not be allowed to reach Hezbollah. They include chemical weapons in Syria, Iran's Fateh-110S, long-range Scud missiles Yakhont missile capable of attacking naval vessels from the coast, and the Russian SA-17 anti-aircraft missiles. Israeli air strikes destroyed a number of in January means that Hezbollah SA-17, according to U.S. officials,.
Israeli officials said Sunday that Iran is stepping up its efforts to smuggle weapons to Hezbollah through Syria, for fear of Assad's days are numbered.
They said Fatah-110S arrived in Syria last week. Friday's air raid occurred at the Damascus airport website is stored in the second series of the missile air strikes Sunday morning, remnants of delivery, has been transferred to a nearby three locations, officials said.
Iranian missiles are not considered to have reached the Lebanese officials, who speak on condition of anonymity because they discuss confidential intelligence assessment.
Difficulties caused by the attack, the embattled Assad regime.
If there is no response, will be very weak, and open the door to more air strikes. However, the risk of any Israeli military retaliation drag the Jewish state and its powerful army to a wider conflict. With few exceptions, Israel and Syria are not engaged in direct battle in about 40 years.
Air strikes in Washington how to respond to signs that the Syrian regime possible use of chemical weapons civil war. President Barack Obama has described the use of such weapons as a "red line", the government is weighing its options.
White House to reject the second day, Israel bombed Syria to comment directly, but said Obama believes that as a sovereign state, Israel has the right to defend themselves against the threat from Hezbollah.
"The Israelis have reason to fear Hezbollah advanced weapons systems, including the threat of long-range missiles, said:" White House spokesman Josh seriously. He said the United States is in close coordination with Israel ", but did not elaborate.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague also seem to have returned to Israel, told Sky News (Sky News) said: "All countries need to take care of their own national security."
Iran condemned the air strikes, and may retaliate against a senior Hezbollah official hinted.
General Massoud Jazayeri, the Assistant Chief of Staff of Iran, told Iran's state-run Arabic language al-Alam TV, Iran "will not allow the enemy (Israel) to the detriment of security in the region. The resistance retaliation for the Israeli aggression against Syria," he added. " "Resistance" is a term used to Hezbollah and Hamas in Palestine, another radical anti-Israel organizations to support Iran.
For decades, Iran provided financial and military support to Hezbollah, and has been used both channels of Syria. If Assad fell, the pipeline may be reduced, resulting in a serious blow to Hezbollah against Israel.
Israel seems to be a calculated risk, the strike will not be invited from Syria, Hezbollah, even for Iranian retaliation.
Salman Shaikh Doha Center in Qatar Brookings Institute warned: "All of this can lead us into a wider conflict."
