You're not that naive. Of course Israel wants Syria weak. But if they invade they automatically invite all of Syria's buddies to the party and that they do not want. So they get the US to do it, don't get Israelis killed in the process, and have the bonus of further deflecting Arab rage to the US.
Bottom line - the Israelis have every reason to lie to us about WMDs being in Syria, and none to be truthful if they're not there.
