Joe,

You obviously insist on imposing a political issue  in the wrong forum. To 
satisfy your interest, I suggest you check this  article. And the comments 
you find there are tons more than radsafe can  provide you.

"An Iranian attack on Israel would amount to Iran signing  its own death 
warrant. It is a horror even to imagine, but the reality is that  a nuclear 
attack anywhere in Israel, would murder tens of thousands of  innocents, Jews 
and Arabs, with radiation fallout spreading death and  deformity over a wide 
radius that would infect hundreds of thousands more in  the  neighborhood"
