But due to Israel's small size nuke strikes will have to be planned to coincide with prevailing wind patterns that spare Israel the fallout.
Professor Pinchas Alpert , Director of the School of Atmospheric Studies at Tel Aviv University, writes that recent studies indicate that the Land of Israel has a unique meteorological status in the world because it is situated at the point of convergence of four distinct climatic systems: two opposing low atmospheric pressure zones, and two opposing high atmospheric pressure zones.

Israel is located at the exact point where...four weather systems converge. This is why the country is subject to contradictory weather patterns (rainy or dry) as well as highly unpredictable shifts in the direction of prevailing winds. These unusual climatic conditions make it very difficult to predict weather conditions.
There is no other inhabited region on earth that experiences such a convergence of opposing weather systems - called a "saddle" in scientific terms - with such frequency. The only other places around the globe where "saddle points" occur with similar frequency are located in mid-ocean.
