The USA is not following proper channels through the UN in regard to Israel's grievance regarding the Golan Heights. There has been military activity in that area by the Syrian Army to eliminate all the remnants of Daesh. The statement by Israel that it was the Quds Force, the elite branch of the Iranian military, that carried out missile launches against Israel is very specific as to Israel's assessment. Where is the proof it was Iran?
If there are still Daesh forces in the area, which there was according to Syria's reporting within the past two weeks, it may by Daesh. There needs to be verification of all these facts and not simply reported by Israel or Iran as fact. Their hatred of each other really shows through when these wide ranging assumptions are made.
There is no doubt Israel can act to defend itself, but, it always had that right. My concern is that while Israel is pointing a finger at Iran, the facts may be the military armaments Israel destroyed may have belonged to the Syrian military fighting the remaining presence of Daesh. Why is it that Trump and Netanyahu are jumping to these decisions without facts? The attack on chemical weapons a few weeks ago resulted in assumptions being used and not facts. There were no chemical weapons according to a long standing and reputable journalist and a medical doctor.
Israel and the USA military are acting on suppositions and not facts. That was the case when the USA revealed new technology that was not obvious before in the Syrian chemical weapons attack and now Netanyahu is making statements that are not founded in fact. I don't doubt there were missiles at issue, but, why and who did they belong to. By attacking Syrian forces in the area, Israel could be acting in it's worst judgment and allowing Daesh to continue to have a footprint.

"Iran does not have any connection to the missiles fired at Israel. If Iran did it we would have announced it immediately. When [ISIS] attacks Iranian targets in Syria we responded and made it known. Iran does not have any military presences in Syria and it was the Syrian army that fired missiles," the deputy head of Iran's national security council....
