Two fears have been expressed here. One, that Israel gets attacked with them. But just like between the USSR and the US, unless they can knock out Israel's ability to respond, it would be suicide to do it. And they can never be certain they can do that. The other fear is they would sell one or more to terrorists and the terrorists would use them against the US or Western Europe. The same logic applies, unless the target can be crippled, the blowback is going to be severe. And it would be fairly easy to guess who supplied the device based on the technology used. And the supplier wouldn't exist for too much longer after that.

The irony is that it will take Iran a lot of $$$ and effort to catch up with Israel's military might.
