No, it won't since Russia has the most to loose on it. There is something strange about this whole situation that doesn't sit right, but Putin will find other ways to "retaliate". Besides what could he possibly bomb to ignite the war? 

Wars don't start at one defined moment until historians look back on it years later. However, yes, I read an article today that Russia had entered Damascus, it was fake news apparently. Hopefully, this is just a last minute strike to show force before they do but as you said, something does not sit right at all, not even close. If war isn't completely off the table now is not the time to escalate tensions even under suspected chemical attacks that have yet to be confirmed. For me at least, I won't be content until the US, the UK and France confirm that they informed Russia before the strike.

Agreed, a lot can happen that escalate the situation but at the moment I don't see anything pointing towards an escalating conflict other than some harsh wording from both sides.
