If they actually did that the entirety of West Asia and North Africa would attack them and all their allies would abandon them.

So actually, no, Israel doesn't have that capability.

You seem to have a different understanding of capability than I do. They could do it, so they have the capability, but that says nothing about the consequences.

No, they would be dogpiled as they did it. They wouldn't be able to finish the job before the whole world ate them alive.
