Yes, but are they nuke capable?

Without knowing the requirements for Israeli nukes it's impossible to
say. Just because US aircraft require dedicated circuitry doesn't
mean the rest of the world does.

Well, there's lots of stuff you'll want on any nuclear bomb equiped
aircraft.

Hardened electronics, flash protection (even what color the planes are
painted can tell you a lot), inertial navigation, etc.

I've worked on lots of military aircraft, but only one had a req't for
hardened electronics. Several others were nuc capable, too.
