Israeli nukes?

Submitted by Ari Zade (Australia), Mar 6, 2012 at 14:39

Why would the Israelis want to use nukes? Has there been some major development in nuke technology? The last time I looked, nukes were mainly good for killing large numbers of civilians and destroying whole cities. How is that any use in attacking an infrastructure? Despite the "it might be" and the "possible use" qualifiers, I don't think this reference to Israeli nukes is helpful.
