"I wonder what sorts of weapons India, Pakistan and Israel have? Fission bombs or fusison bombs?"

India and Pakistan have fission weapons. Implosion, plutonium types. I don't think anything is really known about Israel. Given the very limited testing, they probably only have fission also. There is an outside chance they might have been given, or managed to steal, enough information for a fusion weapon. But the testing was extremely limited. South Africa, who supposedly was in on Israel's testing, only had a few gun types, so Israel probably has has fission weapons.

If North Korea actually has some weapons, and they are evasive enough about it that there is reasonable doubt, it would be a fission weapon.
