Yours is a scary scenario. But I do have a question or two.
What makes it so hard for Israel to hit back at NK?
There's no doubt that Israel's missile technology is more reliable than NK's. Do they not have missiles with enough range?
Is Europe going to stamp its tiny feet and impose huge symbolic fines on Israel for its impertinence?
I just realized I screwed up that comment... ..replace were by.... were not ....
Here's a fixer upper in the Bekaa Valley available as soon as the bombs and rockets stop flying

Those flyboys are doing a great job!
The Lebanese government insisted it had no prior knowledge of the move and did not condone it - and even withdrew its ambassador to the U.S. after he made comments seemingly in support of the guerrillas
I hadn't heard about their ambassador being sent home after talking up the terrorists over here.
Israel's strength lies in their air superiority over their neighbors. As far as I know they do not have an Aircraft Carrier. They had a hard enough time making it to Iraq and back, when they bombed the nuclear reactor there. I don't know if they have missiles with the distance to reach North Korea, but they definately can't get their planes there.
