While they are not ICBM, the mid range, nuke capable, ballistic missiles are used daily against Ukraine and Israel cities. Imagine that these two countries had domed cities on Mars. Even a single rocket would kill whole population immediately.

The small dingy rockets fired by Hamas are utterly incomparable to ICBMs. It's not the same thing at all. Theoretically almost everything is "nuke capable" and that means nothing in this context.

You were talking about the "total destruction" of the ecosystem on Earth, because "throwing space rocks" will be "trivial for any terrorist cell". Talk about hypothetical rockets fired on hypothetical domes on a hypothetical Mars colony bears absolutely zero relation to that.
