JERUSALEM – Web Desk: The Israeli military has, for the first time since the recent war began, admitted that Iran’s ballistic missile strike this week caused severe damage to Israel’s Ramat David Airbase, according to international media reports.
An Israeli military spokesperson stated that satellite images released the previous day showed signs of damage near a warehouse or hangar at the airbase. Initial investigations suggest the damage was not caused by a direct hit from an Iranian missile, but rather by falling debris or fragments after Israel’s defense system intercepted the missile. No military equipment was destroyed and no injuries were reported, with normal operations at the airbase continuing uninterrupted.
Ramat David is considered one of the most important bases of the Israeli Air Force and plays a key role in military operations on the northern front, making the news of damage particularly significant. Tensions between Iran and Israel escalated sharply this week when Iran fired a large wave of ballistic missiles at Israel in response to recent US and Israeli operations. Following the attacks, President Trump requested both sides to refrain from further strikes, leading to a ceasefire declaration.
