Mike,
If your ground based radars suddenly shut down what is the first thing you are going to do? I would scramble a lot of aircraft in prep for an attack. Perhaps 10-20 Israeli aircraft did not expect to meet a bunch of Syrian fighters, including Mig 29s and 31s (the 31 can perform limited AWACS stuff).
Besides, haven't you ever looked up at a fighter going over? They are not always invisible or silent.
I don't think that Syria is going to take sides with Israel any time soon.
