I'm guessing Israel figures they had evidence of active weapons transfers and are using that as an excuse to eliminate all the possible weapons that could leak into Hezbollah hands.

How long before the US gets drawn into this or will they just let Israel do all the work?

Thus far, the Israeli strikes are pretty few and far between. They have no incentive to enter this one. Israel saw an opportunity to eliminate a large weapons cache that would be ulitimately used on their own civilians.
Assad has lost effective control over much of Syria, and Israel is taking that opportunity to stop shipments to Hezbollah. As for the anti air systems, I'm guessing there are all sorts of holes due to losing so much control.
