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.

I do agree that had Iraq used chemicals on Israel, then Israel should be allowed to respond in kind. Asking anyone to sit still and be nuked, and or Chemical attacked is beyond human endurance.
