If the preparations were done relatively quickly Israeli intel would indeed take note and the IDF/IAF would then act appropriately/pre-emptively. But if the preparations were done over a long period of time - Saddam's WMDs have been missing for three years now - it could be done without attracting attention.

The sound of a thousand field generators being started up, along with general cussing when they don't start right away, would be heard from the Golan Heights and the airforce would be on site toute de suite if not sooner.
