To my knowledge rockets fired at Israel are very basic, while Israel has the Iron Dome in place, thus it is a bit of cherry picking. Conventional bombs can surely destroy cities. Nevertheless, an argument can be made nuclear bombs are more cost effective, I don't know about that.
Chemical weapons are certainly WMDs and very potent, as seen in the Syria attacks.
There are many ways you can hurt your enemy, depending on one's goals. E.g. as far as I remember the central element of Mr. Robot is an attack on world economy, which might cause more disruption and suffering than killing civilians.
Reflecting back on history, we don't even have many nuclear incidents. On the other hand it shows if we are serious about hurting others we will find a way.
Also, just for thoughts, if we leave the western centric pov, every other nation could be concerned with the west having nuclear capabilities while they are denied.

My understanding is that most of the rockets fired at Israel are not loaded with explosives, and that most of the damage comes from whatever fuel is left when they impact.
