Just assuming the "800 meters" is true, and the su-24 was doing 480 knots, if he crossed the border perpendicularly, he was in their airspace for ~4 secs. More likely he was paralleling the border.

Israel has a zero tolerance policy with their neighbors who want them dead. Both side stay on edge over there and both sides know very well what crossing into the other's territory means. Given their history, I put more blame on Syria for (ignorantly or intentionally) crossing that line when the consequences are well established.
