War with Iran?
@ Type XXIII:
You don't have to nuke Jerusalem to destroy Israel.
What about nuking Tel Aviv, the main business center, or Haifa, the main industrial center, or even the harbours of Ashdot and Ashkelon...
Nuking those cities - perhaps apart from Tel Aviv - won't really cause major destruction in Jerusalem, certainly not when a nuclear device is not exploded too high in the air.
I can imagine that the Israeli's are worried about developments in Iran.
By the way, the Israeli's decided to build a missile shield after the First Gulf War and a second strike capability through their own little triad: missiles, planes and submarines (that operate routinely in the Indian Ocean near the Arab peninsula).
They have to digest the lessons that history teach them fast and efficient.
