WIKI excerpt-—It is believed that Israel possessed an operational nuclear weapons capability by 1967, with the mass production of nuclear warheads occurring immediately after the Six-Day War. Experts estimated the stockpile of Israeli nuclear weapons range from 60 to as many as 400. It is unknown if Israel’s reported thermonuclear weapons are in the megaton range. Israel is also reported to possess a wide range of different systems, including neutron bombs, tactical nuclear weapons, and suitcase nukes.
Israel is believed to manufacture its nuclear weapons at the Negev Nuclear Research Center.
ADDENDUM Israeli was given $5 billion US tax dollars for “rebuilding air bases” in the Negev.
Since 1973, Israel has received more than $120 billion US tax dollars in MILITARY assistance alone, including three multi-billion dollar “special aid” packages for signing the Israel-Egypt peace treaty, for Israel’s withdrawal from the Sinai, and for redeployment of Israeli forces.
Besides US military aid, Israel also receives economic and humanitarian foreign aid, which supports broad economic development and sociopolitical stability and can also include non-military support related to the country’s pressing security needs.
