I've always preffered "Rods from God", space baced kinetic bombardment.I've long wondered if such concept is possible when delivered by a ballistic missile? My understanding is it is possible from an ICBM but to my knowledge, Israel doesn't have ICBM's.

All they have are the
Jericho series of ballistic missiles, with the Jericho III being the longest ranged.

Re:

Israel certainly does have ICBMs. The Jericho III is an ICBM. The earlier Jericho 1 and 2 are respecively SRBM (Short range) and MRBM (Medium Range).
All of Israel's Jericho II and IIIs can hit Iran.
A 1000kg solid warhead, even concrete encapsulated in depleted uranium, could cause considerable damage.
