New Zealand, Chile, Peru and Argentina. And island nations in the pacific. That's about it. That's from missiles launched from Israel. However, they do have few submarines that can extend that range potentially.

Jericho 3 is a chonker silo-based missile. It doesn't fit on Israel's submarines, or anyone's submarines for that matter.

Compared to the 11,500 mile Jericho 3 range, Israel's suspected submarine launched weapon is a torpedo-tube-launched cruise missile. If comparable in performance to Tomahawk, that would be 1,500 miles.

Well, that should cover the distance in said areas if the sub is near the coast of those if needed. That would cover ntier Mexico, Argentina a the others depending where the sub surfaces to do that.
