This (translated with the use of Google) I would take very seriously indeed:
According to the findings of Israeli intelligence community, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is responsible for the gas attack in Damascus. One unit of the Military Intelligence Service Aman, which specializes in wireless spying - "Unit 8200" - listened at the time of the gas attack to the communications of the Syrian army. As a former Mossad officer told FOCUS, analysis has clearly shown that the chemical missiles attack was performed by Syrian government forces.Of course, freely blabbering Mossad officers, retired or active, exist only in thrillers, but as a premeditated leak, the info could be true.
Hat Tip: Sad Red Earth.
Update: Commenter Ron prefers the following translation:
The German Weekly "Focus" relayed a former Mosad agent saying that the 8200 IDF Intelligence unit intercepted discussions among Syrian administration upper echelon, which prove that the Assad regime ordered the chemical attack on the outskirts of Damascus.Well, I hope that between these two translations, the readers will get the gist. Shouldn't be a problem now.

No better time for a premeditated leak, if you want to hope that Obongo will at least be forced to put some ordnance on the problem, maybe even hit the presidential palace by mistake.
Yes, I guess that was why.
The heading states “Mossad”, but the body reports of an “AMAN” unit. Theses are two entirely different organisations.
These are two entirely different organisations indeed, however the leak is attributed to a Mossad officer, who somehow got the info from Aman.
IS it possible to get the location of the above news item, in the original Hebrew?
Failing that, can you post here the original Hebrew?
The original is in German, from that link. There is a Hebrew version somewhere in Ynet, but it refers to the German source. Let me see. Here:

After reading the Ynet article, mayhapes the above would be clearer if the below Hebrew translation would somehow be incorporated:
The German Weekly "Focus" relayed a former Mosad agent saying that the 8200 IDF Intelligence unit intercepted discussions among Syrian administration upper echelon, which prove that the Assad regime ordered the chemical attack on the outskirts of Damascus.
השבועון הגרמני "פוקוס" דיווח מפי איש מוסד לשעבר כי יחידת המודיעין של צה"ל יירטה שיחות בין בכירי המשטר הסורי, המוכיחות כי הממשל הורה על ביצוע המתקפה בפרברי דמשק
Done. Cheers.
