By the grace of God...Israel is still standing...after 50 Hiroshimas!!
It's nothing short of a miracle.
Luckily for Israel, it was hit with less than 3% of the power of Hiroshima (I'm sure the confusion on your part of the kg to kilotonne equivalent was an honest mistake. As was the kilotonne power of Hiroshima, which was actually 15, not 12.)
Lucky for Israel also that there is a bit of a difference between nuclear fission and home-made rockets. Which totally nullifies a silly comparison using explosive strength as the comparison. Even IF the underlying claims about rocket numbers and their explosive power in kgs are true - which of course have not been substantiated.
(Sometimes I play with the Ignore Option in hopes of finding amusement. Never fails. But this expedition should last me for awhile.)
