Israel does NOT have NUKES
Israel is estimated to have about 250-300 nuclear weapons these days. The Israelis have long had a facility in the Negev called Dimona which was built specifically for nuclear weapons development. The "mystery nuke" that was detonated in the Indian Ocean some 25 years ago is commonly considered to be of Israeli origin as the detectable isotopes did not trace to Russia, USA, France, UK, or etc. while a handful of theorists think it may have been a South African device.
In any case, Israel has nukes and it is considered an unspoken common knowledge.
