The New York Times has reported that during the October 7 attack, a Hamas rocket struck an Israeli base holding nuclear-capable missiles. The report said that though the missiles weren’t directly hit, the rocket's impact sparked a fire that approached missile storage facilities and other sensitive weaponry at the Sdot Micha base in central Israel. It is noteworthy that Israel has never acknowledged possessing nuclear arsenal, however, US officials and satellite imagery analysts claim the country does have at least a small number of nuclear weapons.

According to experts and declassified US government documents, Israel possesses Jericho missiles that are equipped to carry nuclear warheads.
