According to Ya'alon, if the choice is between ISIS or Iran in Syria, Israel prefers ISIS. We're not making this up:
Besides, ISIS has a cooler Toyota armada!
“In Syria, if the choice is between Iran and the Islamic State, I choose the Islamic State. They don’t have the capabilities that Iran has,” Ya’alon told a conference held by the Institute of National Security Studies in Tel Aviv.

The US provides Israel with more than $10 million in military aid every day. Who needs enemies when you give billions of dollars to "friends" who are rooting for terrorists that you are allegedly bombing?
Perhaps another reason Israel prefers ISIS is because the Mossad shares a common acronym with them:
The more you give, the bigger our impact. It's that simple.
