I know Israel has F-16's, do they have A10's? Those 30 tankds would not last too long.

No, AFAIK, no other nation operates the A-10, although it was offered to several. Not sexy enough.

She's an ugly bird, and slow, but functionally quite beautiful, especially to the grunts on the ground.

However they have other anti-tank weapons, like Hellfire missiles hanging on Apache helicopters, that are probably better than that Big Gatling (GAU-8) *against tanks*.
