It doesn’t make any sense for the government of Syria to attack Israel.

No, it doesn't. Guess the rebels have now figured out they can get Israel to do their dirty work by launching a few mortars into Israel According to the article:

......"But Israel said it held Damascus responsible for any attacks emanating from its territory, and claimed Sunday’s attack was intentional."...........

airstrikes on a number of military targets inside Syria

The story obscures who exactly was hit. Was it Assad or was it some Islamists?

do their dirty work

I thought that initially as well, that the rebels could try to trick Israel into retaliating against Syrian government installations. But I suspect we can usually rely on the Israelis to know what they're targeting. I haven't seen any claims of responsibility; that would change matters. I did see one theory that it was Hezbollah, an ally of Assad's.
