General Ya'alon noted that unlike Palestinian targets, which were generally travelling in vehicles, nuclear sites were stationary.

Yah that does tend to help targeting.

"It would be preferable for other nations to do the job," he was quoted as saying, "but you can't rule out Israel."

Hmmm... I was called anti-semitic on this very forum by some self proclaimed defender of Israel for suggesting that Israel had as a strategy getting other nations to do its heavy lifting whenever it could. Oh well I guess the former defense minister of Israel is also anti-semetic. Never was able to figure out why saying a nation was smart enough to convince other people to neutralize threats for them was an insult to the nation. But then I was never educated by the public schools.

Welp, any attack on Iran will demand a broad attack not just on the N-sites but also its military installations and Navy/ports. To do it right you take out their aircraft, runways, Navy, etc, at the same time. Unless a country is willing to do it right the first time it will be just asking for trouble after trouble.

"You don't talk about these things in public," said a senior official, "particularly when there are journalists present."

Understatement of the century! Even a small air strike against the right targets will set the Iranians back years from producing a bomb... unless they get a full up version from someone else.

Old, but of interest:

The Samson Option-- what is known about Israel's Nuclear Weapons?

U.S. Air Force: Israel has 400 nukes, building naval force

The latter report is illuminating, given that it is 4 years old, and the most commonly-quoted number of Israeli warheads is 200... wonder how many they really have?
