Israel by the Numbers

Democratic presidential hopefuls Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton recently promised to stand behind Israel, with Clinton saying she’d “obliterate Iran” if it attacked the state. In all likelihood Israel won’t need her help:

6 is the World rank of Israel’s nuclear arsenal by volume of bombs, according to the U.S. Defence Intellegence Agency estimates.

100 – 250 is the number of nukes in the arsenal, by the Federation of American Scientists’ count.

3 is the number of deployment options for Israeli nuclear weapons – one by air, two by land, three by sea.

2 is the number of Israel’s Dolphin-class, German-made nuclear submarines, which give it a second-strike capability.
