I haven't seen any indication that Israel plans on invading Syria, nor can I see a particular reason for them doing so.

Hmm - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golan_Heights ? [Not that I'd take this as having any new impact on the current situation, but...]

The Golan is firmly under Israeli control already and has been for half a century, they don't need to "invade" it anymore.

Yes, they annexed that after the last war with Syria. Do you think the US is going to abandon the southwest US back to Mexican cartels, or the UK will abandon Wales, or any of these other countries will abandon territory they won in war long ago?
