According to http://www.jpost.com/Middle-East/Report-Syria-asked-IDF-to-hold-fire-as-it-battled-rebels-315882

The Syrian regime asked Israel not to fire on its tanks in the Golan Heights buffer zone between the two countries during Thursday's internecine fighting in the area, according to a report apparently by the United Nations peacekeeping troops on the Golan.

The Syrian armed forces were battling opposition troops who had briefly seized control of the Syrian side of the Quneitra border crossing between Israel and Syria.

After receiving the message, the Syria regime asked that Israel refrain from firing on its vehicles as "the presence of the tanks was solely for the purpose of fighting the armed members of the opposition." Israel acceded to the request, but did confirm that it had given medical treatment to members of the Syria opposition wounded in the fighting.

In my opinion Israel did the right thing by sitting it out. There is no need to get involved unless they are threatened or weapons are being transferred to anti-Israel groups. Let the quranimals fight each other

But it says they gave medical assistance to the rebels. Why help either side?

Let them murder each other and not get involved.  The syrian regime shows its cowardice that it is afraid of the mighty Jews.  The islamist opposition is probably worse and it nmakes zero sense to offer them medical or any help whatsoever.  Once the rebels are defeated annex the buffer zone for their troubles.
