Israel doesn't need to throw nukes around. Their current opposition are disorganised, poorly equipped, and poorly led. They would make Putin's lads look vaguely competent.
The risk is that at some point in the future they could represent a real threat so complacency would not be the right strategy.
Whether they or the US developed the dome is debatable - but they probably rank in the top 5 in terms of military technological capability along with US, UK, China.
