Naw.
I'd say Israel, Turkey, and the US all want as little to do with this conflict as possible. As judged by the secondary explosion, Israel saw the opportunity to stop some very big weapons from getting into the hands of Hezbollah and took it. I don't see them getting involved in a major way.
Israel, the US, and Turkey, have all made some very big steps recently to mend their respective relationships. It's been overshadowed a lot by other more shocking events, but examples include Israel apologizing for death in the Flotilla raid and the resumption of full diplomatic relations between Israel and Turkey.
