Syria is pretty clear.Any invasion and it will fire its entire WMD into the aggressor states.After that I believe Israel will activate the Samson Option hitting European capitals with nuclear missiles.

Thoughts?
Wild Weasel
A Wild Weasel is an aircraft (usually United States Air Force) specially equipped with radar seeking missiles, and tasked with destroying the radars and SAM installations of enemy air defense systems.[1][2]
Wild Weasel tactics and techniques were first developed in the Vietnam and Yom Kippur Wars, and were later integrated into the Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) a plan used by US air forces to establish immediate air control, prior to possible full scale conflict
