Sadly Syria is in no position to lend major assistance. Most of their armed forces are still tied down either in active combat with remnant ISIS forces, or providing law and order in liberated areas. This means they do not have many units to spare. Further, even if they did have units available, Syria lacks the number of modern aircraft and tanks to actively threaten Israel, and they would probably fare poorly.
If Syria was part of a larger coalition like the Yom Kippur War, then they would be a large threat. Currently however it is unlikely they will enter hostilities with Israel directly.
Even if Syria had the troops and equipment, it would still unfortunately likely be outmatched against Israel, and Israel would inflict psychotic vengeance on Syria for daring to help liberate Palestine.
