There is no such thing as an Israeli-Iraqi War. Every war in which Israel and Iraq were opponents, there were other parties to the conflict.

In the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9, Iraq never signed an armistice agreement with Israel, but its withdrawal of forces commensurate with the Jordanian-Israeli armistice more or less indicates Iraqis' tacit agreement with its terms. The Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9 was a success for Israel in that it not only defended its borders but expanded its territory during the struggle.

In the Arab-Israeli War of 1973, Iraqis assisted the Syrians. While there is a dispute over whether Egypt or Israel was victorious on the Sinai front, nobody disputes that Israel was victorious on the Syrian front. Israeli tanks were within 40 kilometers or 25 miles from Damascus. This would also be a loss for Iraq.

Iraq sent skud missiles into Israel in 1991 to goad Israel into joining the UN Coalition to liberate Kuwait. This would have weakened the coalition and caused Saudi Arabia and other Arab allies to withdraw from the fight (since they would refuse to fight on the same side as Israel). To prevent this the USA urged Israel to stay out of the Gulf War. Several Israeli civilians died in missile attacks and there was property damage. Ironically more Arab-Israelis were hurt or lost property than Israeli Jews. Israel held back from retaliating and allowed Iraq to be soundly defeated by the UN Coalition.

Why did Iraq bomb israel?

It depends on the war, but the most famous case of Iraq bombing Israel was in 1991 during the Persian Gulf War of 1990-1991. The idea was to goad Israel into joining the United Nations coalition attacking Iraq. While this might sound counter-intuitive since this would give Iraq another enemy, the entrance of Israel into the war would alienate the Arab members of the coalition. Saudi Arabia, whence many of the attacks on Iraq came, publicly made clear that it would withdraw support for the war if Israel joined. The loss of Saudi Arabia as a US ally in the Persian Gulf War would be more devastating than the gain of Israel. Israel did not join the war at the US's urging as much as it wanted to for this reason.
