Israeli airstrike/troops in Syria?

I think we now know what prompted that rocket from Gaza this morning that wounded dozens of Israeli soldiers, an Israeli airstrike against Syria last week.

The airstrike may have targeted weapons that were destined for Hezbollah militants, according to sources in the region and in the United States.....

But the sources told CNN the military operation, which happened Wednesday into Thursday, may have also involved Israeli ground forces who directed the airstrike, which "left a big hole in the desert" in Syria......

Sources in the U.S. government and military confirmed to CNN's Barbara Starr that the airstrike did happen, and that they are happy to have Israel carry the message to both Syria and Iran that they can get in and out and strike when necessary.

I'd be really curious who the "sources in the US government" are that are cheering this on.
