Pakistan may have nukes, but I bet Israel has more! I dare say that if Israel saw a massive build up on their border; a build-up that they didn't think they could stop. Then they would use nukes to stop that build up.

As far as Freedom Fighters go, most of the damage to our forces in Iraq, have been pin pricks at best. If they really want to do some damage they need to escalate the American casuality rate to something like 20 a day to start equaling our causalities we took in Vietnam. We didn't average that kind of casualty rate during the ground war.

I think Israel could handle anything that a "Freedom Fighter" army could throw at it. After all they've been handling this kinds of attacks for quite sometime. I also don't think that a "Freedom Fighter" Army would have the necessary discipline needed to take on a decent military force. Think of the language barrier such an army would have. Plus just go back and ask all those Freedom Fighters that died in Hebron at the beginning of the latest occupation by the Israelis. They are a "dead" example of what I am talking about.
