As Ehud Barak once said "Israel is a villa in the jungle". It's a statement that's certainly ringing true at the moment. While I don't expect Assad to go all out and hit Tel Aviv when the US cruise missiles start falling, which seems to be the predetermined conclusion already. I wouldn't entirely put it past him though.
However, seeing that his main objective is to stay alive and in power, it seems obvious that starting a fight with Israel would be the worst idea possible if he's looking to keep things that way. You can bet that any attempt to target Israeli population centers or sensitive government or military sites by the Assad regime would be the casus belli for us to take him and his cohorts out of the game entirely.
