The 37 Minute War.
Hydroelectic dams are our friends.
Making the land uninhabitable isn't an option for him, nor any other Islamic leader at this point. He wants the nation of Israel gone, to be sure, and replaced by Palestine. Turning into a radioactive wasteland is not a winning strategy for him.
The only nuke he intends to lob is one on Tel Aviv, to decapitate the Israeli leadership, and to demoralize the population by the shock value. The rest of his strategy is tied up in "the oil weapon" backed by a bit of nuclear blackmail, in order to facilitate a reversal of the UN directive creating Israel in the first place, and rendering the entire Middle East irrevocably, and totally Islamic.
Should he be successful at this gambit, of course you can expect him to "up the ante" to institute the word-wide caliphate for his "Mahdi"...
