To reply with nukes would be commiting suicide for the Israelis. The burst radius would cover part of their own country, remember that Gaza is very small, like putting a nuke in Central Park....and hoping that there isn't any damage outside of it....won't work.

Yes and no. Israel supposedly has nukes that are extremely small and can be used on the battlefield.

Gaza is about 15 KM or so wide. Most nuke don't have a 7KM blast radius. The smaller ones definitely do not. Fallout is another issue however. Just checked the winds in Israel. Not much wind, but all with easterly component, either SE, SSE, or NE. Wrong way, so no nukes.
