IIRC, Israel has thermonuclear (”H-Bombs”) as well as nuclear (”A-Bombs”) weapons like those Iran is developing, including some on submarines.

“Iran is planning to build a nuclear bomb with at least triple the force of the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima in World War II...”
Would that be enough to blow Israel off the map? I’m pretty sure that’s their guiding principle for the engineering.

Iran Building Powerful Nuclear DeviceYeah, but they would only use it in response to an offensive You Tube video.

Wasn’t the Hiroshima bomb considered relatively small relative to ones developed later? Also, how many Muslims/Arabs/Palestinians would a bomb that size kill in addition to the Israelis?

C’mon ... the arabs haven’t done anything significant since the 5th century. They’ll blow themselves up trying to figure out which end the trigger is on ;)

Yes, Hiroshima isn't considered very powerful by current standards. There are many Muslims living
within Israel, plus the neighboring countries, of course.
As I understand it (I'm not a physicist) the trigger for an "H-Bomb" is an "A-Bomb" within the device. That's how much more powerful they are.

So what can a 50kt device do? Surround it with a cobalt jacket and set it off where prevailing winds will carry fallout over most of central Israel. You don't need to kill that many people. You just have to make the area so unhealthy that rational people don't want to live there any more.
It won't matter if the Palestinians can't live there either. The objective all along was to displace the Jews, rather than settle the Palestinians.

“So what can a 50kt device do?”
If they manage to deliver it perfectly (i.e., location and altitude), it can pretty much take out a medium-sized city. So, no, one will not take out Israel (assuming they can handle the associated EMP, but that’s a separate topic), but half a dozen, yes. A single 10 MT blast would pretty much wipe out the northern half of Israel.
These weapons aren’t toys, but it looks like Israel takes its defense quite seriously.

Israel won't know what hit it.
To: Uncle Miltie
Heyyyyy, they cheated. Ahmadinejab said they were going nuclear for energy purposes. Why would you use a bomb for nuclear energy??? Derrrrr Heeeeee Hurrrrrr... /s
