At the moment Israel is focusing on Lebanon (as you'll see in the coming hours).

Syria isn't suicidal to get itself directly involved unless it's in retaliation.

However, if there are long-range rocket attacks from South Lebanon tomorrow [as feared] then Israel may hit some key targets in Syria, which in turn may get a reaction and so forth.

It's an unpredictable and dangerous situation. More than likely things will simmer back down in a few days after some air strikes and ground incursions back to the relative chaos, but theres a possibility of an actual regional conflict if things get out of control.

Israel must have a relatively pacified Lebanon always, but if this is to expand to include Syria, Lebanon is vital. Iran, who knows.
