No, they were only going to contemplate that route IF one of the missiles launched at them had a nuclear or biological warhead. And even then, they were debating what they should do in that scenario. It wasn't even clearcut that if they received WMD that would launch them as well. It depended on where it hit, how many launched, how many killed, etc. No question that they would respond but not necessarily with WMD.
Israel is not stupid, they realize that a nuclear war is not a good thing.
In any case, if it had happened, Baghdad would've been levelled at the hands of Israel & the US.
