Israel planning to nuke Iran’s nukes – Sunday Times

In a story that topped headlines in all Israel’s news media Sunday, the widely read and highly influential London Sunday Times reported that the Israel Air Force was preparing to carry out a nuclear attack on Iranian’s nuclear plants.

IAF pilots had been carrying out special training in Gibraltar and three flight paths to target sites in Iran had already been mapped out.

The plan, according to the paper, is for Israel to use bunker-busting bombs to drill ‘tunnels” through thickly reinforced steel and concrete shields at the Natanz plant, and then drop relatively small tactical nuclear bombs into the actual facility, destroying it.

Conventional bombs will be used on two of the country’s other sites – at Isfahan and Arak.

If employed, it would be the first time that nuclear weapons were used in war since 1945. The Israeli nukes for this operation are thought to render about one-fifteenth of the yield of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

Israel’s plan has been formulated as Tehran continues its race to acquire nuclear know-how unperturbed by the international community’s half-hearted effort to boycott the Islamic Republic into compliance.

The growing fear in Israel is that the world will sit by and allow yet another genocide of the Jews.

While Israeli governments have long insisted that Israel will not be the first to introduce nuclear weapons into the region, the nation feels that it has its back to the wall in the face of increasingly determined Islam-driven efforts to destroy it.
