Israel is not assisting Nusra, and the article doesn't say that it is.
Despite the title, the only assistance to unspecified fighters (and
civilians) referred to in the article is the treating of patients in
Israeli hospitals. Ya'alon says the conditions for providing this
medical assistance is that they don't attack Israel, the don't attack
the Druze, and they keep "Islamic extremists" away from the border. For
"Islamic extremists" read Nusra. There is not a shred of evidence for
Israeli support for Nusra, nor for that matter for the FSA except the
hospital stuff.

Could it be that Israel is helping Nusra because of recent comments that
most of the opposition is being forced by international backers to
accept
the legitimacy of Bashar al-Assad? Perhaps they are more willing to
assist
opposition groups knowing that they will not succeed in overthrowing the
regime, and they would be less willing to do so if the opponent were to
be
overthrown rather than weakened?
