Several of Iran’s ballistic missile barrages struck Israeli military bases during the 12-day war between the two countries last month. According to a report published by the British broadcaster The Telegraph, satellite data released by Oregon State University suggests that Israel’s Tel Nof airbase, Zipporit armor base, the Glilot intelligence base, and two other military assets were struck by a total of six rockets during the war. Despite this radar data and reports, the damage inflicted by these direct hits was actually less severe than the impact caused in the October 2024 exchange of violence between Iran and Israel. However, due to strict censorship laws pertaining to sharing war-related information, the Israel Defense Forces has yet to confirm the findings of The Telegraph’s report. Israel’s unmatched tiered air defense systems undoubtedly prevented more significant casualties and damage during the war.
