This was apparently meant to send a message to Iran and North Korea.

But with 0bama running things, Israel should watch their backs.

They might be the largest by absolute mass, but we used to have some nuclear bunker busters that were useful in making big holes in the ground. The downside was that throwing nukes was always a political no no, but dropping 14 tons of TNT and iron on some tin horn dictator's head is a no brainer.

They will only get the message if one is actually dropped on them.

The message is clear, but the messenger in chief is suspect.
