Will a war break out between Syria and Israel?
Answer 1
The war with Syria and Israel had already started when Israel send some airplanes to a Syrian compound which they claim that compound is where Syria and North Korea are "exchanging" nuclear weapons. Some Syrians, even Israelis, didn't see any destruction of the compound. That came to a declaration of war.
Answer 2
The Syrian Regime and Free Syrian Army have enough issues with each other and the other parties in the Syrian Civil War to worry about Israel for the moment. Israel, conversely, does not wish to enmesh itself in the Syrian Civil War because of the mangled disaster and tragedy that was Israel's intervention in the Lebanese Civil War.
Conversely, ISIL, which controls parts of Syria far away from the Israeli border, has argued that it is their intent to overrun all of the Middle Eastern borders and directly mentioned "Occupied Palestine", which is a term often used in the Arab World to refer to Israel, as one of the territories that they plan to overrun. While Israel certainly regards ISIL as an enemy, there are currently no intentions by the Israeli government to directly intervene in the Syrian Civil War (which includes ISIL).
