Being that Israel is not that far from Iran, it could affect them as well. I would conclude that they are not stupid enough to do that, but after watching their actions of the last few years, one never knows.
It would only affect Israel depending on the wind direction. Because it will not be a high yield nuclear detonation the fallout will be much less due to the ionized particles not being carried into the upper atmoshere.
