Depends on yield. Doesn't seem like any nuke used/tested had a yield higher than the Tsar Bomba. Not sure about untested/unused stockpile.

Doesn't look like even that would wipe out Israel in one go

You're technically right -- the blast radius isn't covering all of Israel -- but third degree burns across ~50% of the entire landmass would be hell.
