| [Jpost] Israel has close to 100 nuclear weapons, a new report by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute has found. While Israel has a long-standing policy of not commenting on its nuclear arsenal, according to the report there are approximately 30 that are gravity bombs, which can be delivered by fighter jets ‐ some of which are believed to be equipped for nuclear weapon delivery ‐ and approximately 50 warheads that can be delivered by land-based ballistic missiles such as the Jericho III intermediate-range ballistic missile ‐ which, according to foreign reports, has a range of 5,500 km. The report also mentioned the numerous unconfirmed reports that Israel has modified its fleet of German-built Dolphin class submarines to carry nuclear-armed sea-launched cruise missiles, giving it a sea-based second-strike capability. |
