Israel is historically a fiesty little country. If they get the sense that something is headed their way there's going to be hell to pay for the country responsible. The pre-emptive strike known as the 6 Day War in which they crushed Egypt, Syria, and Jordan would be the classic example of that. The same countries again took another pounding a few years later. I'm not sure if anyone knows what Israel has in terms of nuclear capability, but it is generally assumed they have nuclear weaponry since all signs point to that being the case.
Israel also has a lot of United States weaponry including F-16's as part of a capable air force. Maybe not the latest and greatest, but engaging them in any way is definitely a risky activity for any country. IMO, Israel, if provoked, would eliminate a lot of countries our current administration doesn't really care for...
