Is Israel right to destroy Syria's military capabilities?

The fall of Bashar al-Assad and the arrival in Damascus of an Islamic militia force to take control provided one country with a unique opportunity to intervene on a huge scale. I'm not talking about Turkey which was fully behind the ousting of Assad or the US which sent B-52 bombers to hit Isis targets in the biggest air raid since the Isis caliphate was running the show in northern and northeastern Syria. I'm referring to Israel. As soon as news broke that Assad and his henchmen had all fled and the Syrian military had flung off their combat clothes and vanished into the crowds pf celebrating citizens, Israel struck mightily, hammering more than 300 targets and then kept going again today, seeking out Syrian air defence sites, munitions factories and storage sites and weapons that could threaten Israel. Israel effectively went to war with Syria to eliminate the military infrastructure built up by the Assad regime with the help of Russia over decades. How many people died in the process is not known. But the destruction was massive. In ordering such a huge series of airstrikes on Syrian military sites, Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's prime minister, must have assumed that the opportunity to carry out such devastation was a one-off special moment. And despite condemnation from Arab countries, he will get away with it. Whether it was morally the right thing to do, when the hated Assad regime had been kicked out and the new rulers had begun trying to bring a more hopeful future for the Syrian people after decades of repression and civil war, is another matter. But, seeing it from Israel's point of view it was just too tempting. While there was a political vacuum in Damascus, Israel had the chance to destroy the military capability which could threaten Israel in the future. Nevertheless, what Israel has done will make it less likely that the new Syrian leaders will have anything to do with Netanyahu's government. While no one expects the new Syrian government to forge warm relations with Israel, the wholesale bombings by their neighbour could make regional peace even more unreachable.
