Of course yes. The Americans said after the first attack on that targets months ago that it has failed. So the Israelis revisited. Also possible that the Rus sians have sent a new delivery meanwhile.
The Saudis are supporting the religious fanatics on the rebels' side, because Assad is a threat for them, as is any axis between Shia Iran and partners of it. That the Saudis recently rejected a UNSC seat, is a slap in the face of the Americans, because the Saudis have not forgiven Obama's ridiculous zig-zagging in the ME, and over Syria. Obama'S policy change (or indifference and lack in course plotting) is a direct threat for the regimes in the Gulf region, also the new American "energy revolution" (fracking boom) - if America does not need the ME oil anymore, it will not see much need to militarily invest there. In other words: the Arabs do not trust Obama in special and America in general anymore.
I think we will see the entry of several new competitors for the nuclear arms race in the region soon.
And then there is Erdoghanistan's special ways and his recent announcement to buy SAMs from China...
