Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Iran fired 24 ballistic missiles at Israel on Sunday night and Monday morning, many of which were aimed at northern Israel. However, the Israeli army did not release a report on damage to Ramat David air base after the attack.
Ramat David air base, located southeast of Haifa, has returned to the spotlight after a recent wave of missile attacks between Iran and the Israeli regime. New satellite images show structural changes caused by recent Iranian missile attacks on the base’s facilities, which is considered one of the most prominent pillars of the Israeli air force in the northern occupied territories.
Al Jazeera, comparing two images taken by the European Sentinel-2 satellite on June 5 and 8, showed changes in the location around the facility, which suggests that it is an aircraft hangar or a service building inside the base.
While the location appeared in the June 5 image with a regular visual trace, the June 8 image showed differences in color and levels of radar and optical reflectivity within the target area, indicating that the facility had been damaged during the three days.
Earlier, some Israeli media outlets, contrary to the regime's military censorship, acknowledged that analysis of satellite images showed that the hangar at the base was likely damaged during the Iranian missile attacks.
According to the Israeli media, one of the two damaged areas was apparently used for support and equipment, while the other was a refueling and servicing point for F-35 fighter jets.
The Yedioth Aharonot newspaper also published the images, explaining that the base houses five squadrons of aircraft, including F-16 fighters and drones, and has been a frequent target of Hezbollah attacks during the war, due to its location about 50 kilometers from the border with Lebanon.
The newspaper noted that the publication of the news was made with the consent of the Israeli military censor.
The images come at a time when restrictions on access to high-resolution satellite imagery exist in several parts of the Middle East, limiting the provision of independent images of damage inside Israel and other areas witnessing military escalation.
