Maybe...
It will blow over if the Israelis are just bombing Hezbollah. I mean, who cares if Hezbollah freedom fighters get wiped out. Better for the civilized world. Maybe some yelling and screaming - and some behind-the-scenes backslapping. I don't think violence in Syria will move the market. There is violence in Syria.
If, however, Israel takes an eastern airfield all bets are off. They can handle Iran from there and thanks to our Black Swan President we can honestly portray America as impotent. I mean, we no longer have any air assets (planes or anti-aircraft batteries) in the region. Because we bailed from Iraq, Israel could take an airfield in eastern Syria and launch sorties right over the northern region of Iraq and right to the nuclear sites in Iran. There might be another Nobel Peace Prize for President Obama in the near future. But, that would freak the market.
Hey, look at that one in the top, right corner...

Nice, very nice... And, that border in the top, right is the Turkey/Iraq border... About 100 km to the east is Iran... And, now we don't have to have Turkey and Iraq playing stupid games. Just overfly defenseless Iraq. Nice plan Bama
A Black Swan could have taken flight...
