Iran is playing with fire. Israel will not hesitate to drop a nuke on Iran if those rockets are fired on Israel.

From Israeli National news:

IDF Cannot Confirm Reports That Nasrallah is Injured
08:58 Jul 16, '06 / 20 Tammuz 5766

(IsraelNN.com) IDF Chief of Operations Major-General Gadi Eizenkot told Galei Tzahal (Army) Radio on Sunday morning that military intelligence does not have additional information other than the reports appearing in the Arab media.

Eizenkot was referring to reports that Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah was injured in Israeli bombing raids over Lebanon.

Eizenkot stated that Israel assumes the terror leader is holed up in a bunker tens of meters (yards) underground, in the Hizbullah area of Lebanon. He stated Israel does not have information regarding his reported injuries, nor can officials deny or confirm reports that he has been moved to another area.

" Israel will not hesitate to drop a nuke on Iran if those rockets are fired on Israel."

I doubt Israel will use nucs unless the country is in imminent danger of being overrun or the Is-slimes use chemical warheads.

You ,may recall, in the '73 War, Golda Meir ordered two nuclear capable squadrons of Phantom and Kfir fighters loaded with nukes when the battles were going poorly and it appeared that Israel might be overrun. At that point, The USSR attempted to send Egypt some type of nuclear materials(?), we detected it as it passed through the Bosporous straits and countered by going DEFCON 3. Fortunately, the tide of battle turned and the war ended.

What would be the tripping point in this war where Israel would decide to use their nukes? Surely, just having a few rockets hit Haifa wouldn't be sufficient, would it?
