A nuclear response to a nuclear attack has not taken place. In your hypothetical scenario we would supposedly be defending ourselves and to the extent that our use of nuclear weapons met that criteria of self-defense it could be justified.

Now back to reality, when a person commits murder they are unlikely to exonerated based on the "we would use nuclear weapons" defense. Today we have soldiers who will likely face the death penalty for murdering Iraqi civilians if found guilty. The mass murder of civilians by Israel requires the same level of justice. I do not expect our soldiers to use nuclear deterrence as their justification for cold blooded murder.
