At first, no one came up with anything - they just gave the Israeli press stories on the killing of the 13 Syrians. You later found a June report of rockets aimed at the Golan Heights (at civilians? They don't seems to have injured anyone , so it's hard to know), which came right after Israel killed a civilian in Syria. Perhaps this is what the IDF is using as its excuse for shelling a Syrian village in November - there's no particular indication it is, but it was a rocket attack from Syria in this year.

But not, no goalposts have moved, since the OP asked for what the IDF was talking about, and you now seem confident you know what that was.

Your idea that the BBC quoting both Syrian and Israeli sources for an Israeli attack on Syria is "source-washing" is frankly bonkers.
