That sounds like a terrible decision to make considering 50% of Israelis live in the 30 most populated cities, cities which are all clustered together and very bombable... then again, I don't think jets from the late 70s would fare well against Israel's very modern air defenses. An ancient F-14 or a MiG-29 would probably spontaneously collapse at the sight of a Patriot SAM operated by Israel.

Iran already defeated said defences pretty easily with not even their best missiles just few months ago.
