Hezbollah has 110,00 missiles it could fire at Israel, many of which would pierce the iron dome. There is the possibility of Israel ending up looking much like Gaza. But you are right. N will use nukes if he has to, which could lead to a global conflict. Putin is about to play his plan to shock the West. Who knows how this will end?
