In some ways I am for this move...

Israel has been attacking Syria with impunity resulting in a large number of civilian deaths and helping to create the current humanitarian crisis.

Israel has a history of being pretty heavy handed in what they term defensive strikes.

A defensive missile system is, in my opinion, helpful to the region and hopefully will bring parties involved to come up with a peaceful solution.
