"Unfortunately, the appearance of doing nothing public, would have been very poorly received in Israel."

It would have been poorly received in syria as well as a sign of weakness. Again, to successfully deter, one must prove oneself willing to use force. So now just may be the best time to engage syria when everyone's manhood has been proved. Hizbolla too for that matter. No one says their fighters arent brave.
