The actual damage, in terms of dead Syrian flag officers, has never publicly been revealed. However, the attack was enough to get the Syrians to thin out their front line air defenses* to protect the capital, leaving enough gaps at the front for an improvement in the success of Israeli air attacks against Syria’s invading tank columns.
* The Syrians were shielding their invading force from air attack with mobile surface to air missile batteries. Initially, at least, they employed this tactic with great success, taking a fearful toll on Israeli tac air sent up to stop them. The very thin line of Israeli tank units that stood in their way performed heroically, and suffered over 50% casualties.

In the end, though, it is possible that the Syrians retreated under threat of an Israeli nuclear attack, if an Arab victory (followed by what the Jewish state expected to be a root and branch genocide) seemed inevitable.
So there is one situation in which Damascus would be burned to the ground. And that is if Israel were about to fall to the Arab hordes. That is unlikely at the present moment, given Israel’s current overwhelming conventional superiority.
Possibly. You have to wonder if the weakening of the US, Israel’s once strongest ally, is emboldening her satanic enemies.
