The war is between the FSA (supported by some Kurdish Rebels) vs. the SAA (back by Iran and Hezbollah)
No matter how much you like to incorporate Israel with every war in the Middle East, they are not one of the belligerents in this war.
Operation Orchard happened before the Syrian uprising, what does it have to do with the current war in Syria ?
I'm tempted to say there would be no war in the Middle East today if 650,000 Jews hadn't inflicted their nation state on 1.2 million Arabs in 1948, but that is probably an over simplification. Israel, however, has already taken sides in this current conflict, and now they are reaping the blowback, IMHO:
"On May 5, the massive Israeli bombardment of Iranian weapons stored near Damascus for Hizballah, turned out a month later to have done more harm than good. It gave Bashar Assad a boost instead of weakening his resolve.
"2. Israel has laid itself open to unpleasant surprises by its focused watch on military movements in Syria especially around Damascus to ascertain that advanced missiles and chemical weapons don’t reach Hizballah.
"Missed, for instance, was the major movement by Hizballah militia units towards the Syrian-Israeli border. Our military sources report a Hizballah force is currently deployed outside Deraa, capital of the southern Syrian province of Horan.
"Reinforcements are streaming in from Lebanon.
"The Hizballah force and Syrian units are getting ready to move in on the rural Horan and reach the Israeli border nearby through the Syrian Golan."

Are you saying that if Israel didn't exist, then there would be no wars in the ME, or uprising like in Syria, Egypt ??
Think long and hard before you answer this question Georgie Boy
It takes little thought to point out how the borders of Syria, Israel, and Lebanon came into existence. That occurred at the conclusion of the War to End All Wars (and I think investment bankers with names like Rockefeller, Rothschild, and Morgan are still laughing at that one).
"Britain was allocated control of areas roughly comprising the coastal strip between the sea and River Jordan, Jordan, southern Iraq, and a small area including the ports of Haifa and Acre, to allow access to the Mediterranean.[6]
"France was allocated control of south-eastern Turkey, northern Iraq, Syria and Lebanon.[citation needed] Russia was to get Istanbul, the Turkish Straits and the Ottoman Armenian vilayets.[6]
"The controlling powers were left free to decide on state boundaries within these areas.[6] Further negotiation was expected to determine international administration pending consultations with Russia and other powers, including the Sharif of Mecca."

The racist arrogance of Zionism was part of the colonialist mentality that inflicted those boundaries upon millions of Arabs, and it depended on the creation of a Jewish state in the heart of Arab oil, "a little, loyal Jewish Ulster" in the words of one British elite of the time.
"Following the outbreak of World War I, Zionism was first discussed at a British Cabinet level on 9 November 1914, four days after Britain's declaration of war on the Ottoman Empire..."
Israel was created to ensure conflicts like the one we are currently watching in Syria take place regularly enough in the Middle East to generate massive profits to investment bankers from the sales of arms, oil, and illegal drugs (Afghanistan).
As far as your question about the correlation between Israel's Operation Orchard, Syria, and Hezbollah, you might want to give a little thought to the
North Korean connection, Toastie:
"In 2001, the Mossad, Israel's external intelligence service, was profiling newly-inducted Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
"Visits by North Korean dignitaries, which focused on advanced arms deliveries, were noticed. Aman, Israel's military intelligence department, suggested nuclear arms were being discussed, but the Mossad dismissed this theory.
"In spring 2004, U.S. intelligence reported multiple communications between Syria and North Korea, and traced the calls to a desert location called al-Kibar. Unit 8200, Israel's signals intelligence and codebreaking unit, added the location to its watch list.[15]
"On April 22, 2004, a massive explosion occurred on a North Korean freight train heading for the port of Namp'o. According to British intelligence writer Gordon Thomas, the Mossad had learned that dozens of Syrian nuclear technicians were in a compartment adjoining a sealed wagon.
"According to Thomas, the Syrians had arrived in North Korea to collect the fissionable material stored in the wagon. All of the technicians were killed in the train explosion.
"Their bodies were flown to Syria in lead-encased coffins aboard a Syrian military plane.
"A wide area around the explosion site was cordoned off for days as North Korean soldiers in anti-contamination suits collected wreckage and sprayed the area. Mossad analysts suspected they were trying to recover weapons-grade plutonium.
"Since the explosion, the Mossad tracked about a dozen trips by Syrian military officers and scientists to Pyongyang, where they met with high-ranking North Korean officials."
