Satellite imagery suggests Iran strike may have hit Israeli air base during recent missile attacks
Satellite images published by Soar Atlas appear to show damage to a hangar at Ramat David Air Base in northern Israel, possibly from Iranian missile attacks on Monday. The base, located southeast of Haifa, normally houses five F-16 and drone squadrons and has been targeted multiple times over the past three years. The Israeli military has not confirmed the damage or responded to requests for comment.
Satellite imagery comparing photos from Monday to June 5 appears to show impact damage at a hangar at Ramat David Air Base in northern Israel, according to analysis published by Soar Atlas. The base, located southeast of Haifa near Migdal Ha'emek, is a major Israeli Air Force facility housing five F-16 and drone squadrons. The IDF and Jerusalem Post did not respond to requests for comment about the apparent strike. The base has been targeted previously, including by Hezbollah rockets and drones in 2024 and by airstrikes during Operation Roaring Lion last month. Despite multiple strikes on Israeli air bases over the past three years, the IAF has stated it has not lost any fighter jets, and the military reportedly redeployed assets before the Iranian attacks to minimize potential losses.
