Israel's constant bombing of Syria (paid for with U.S. aid) sent Muslims refugees into the West.

????

By August 2022, the British investigative non-profit organization Airwars estimated that 17 to 45 civilians were killed and another 42 to 101 civilians were wounded by Israeli airstrikes in Syria since 2013; Syrian reports place these figures much lower than other foreign actors in the conflict.[5] Between 2013 and September 2018, Israel also provided humanitarian aid to victims of the Syrian civil war, especially following the launching of Operation Good Neighbour in June 2016.

Considering that the Syrian civil war caused more than half a million violent deaths between 2011 and the present it would be very hard to prove or even make it plausible that it was Israeli bombings that caused the exodus of civilians from Syria into Jordan and Turkey and then onto Europe.

Of course you are correct. The Syrian was was classic Shiite vs Sunni war with the Iranian backed Alewites being the Shiites. Israel was hands off in the extended squabble that Russia was very involved in and the USA less so
