Satellite images appear to indicate damage at IAF base following Iranian missile attacks
Satellite imagery taken Monday appeared to indicate that damage was caused at the Israeli Air Force’s Ramat David Airbase in northern Israel during Iran’s ballistic missile attacks Sunday night.
Low-resolution images dated June 8 from the European Commission’s Sentinel-2 satellite, processed by the Copernicus Browser site, showed a discolored patch where a hangar is located at the airbase, possibly indicating that it was hit during the attacks.
Iran launched 24 ballistic missiles at Israel on Sunday night and Monday morning, with many of them aimed at northern Israel. In addition, the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen fired two ballistic missiles at Israel on Monday morning.
The IDF reported that all of the missiles fired on Sunday night were either intercepted or landed in open areas, and many of those fired Monday were also shot down. No Israelis were hurt in the attacks.
The army did not report any impacts in the area, and the extent of the damage at the base, if any, was unclear.
According to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Iranian forces launched at least one ballistic missile at the northern airbase during its Sunday night barrage. Unconfirmed footage posted to social media claimed to show a missile striking in the area.
