Let's assume Israel has nuclear weapons during the 1980s, which seems like a reasonably safe assumption. What were to happen if, in the course of a war with [insert Syria, Egypt, Jordan or probably all three in this extreme situation] Israel had used nuclear weapons? I'm sure international condemnation would follow, but I'm specifically thinking of the military and especially economic and health effects.
It seems that nuking any of its neighbors would end up having long-term negative effects on Israel's economy and the health of its citizens, assuming it survives war. I'd also be interested in how the international economy would be changed and how far the medical consequences of a nuclear strike would go on a regional level and global level.
