Report in Daily Telegraph: Five IDF bases hit by Iranian missiles
An exclusive report published overnight on Saturday in the British Daily Telegraph revealed that six Iranian missiles struck five Israeli military installations during the 12-day war with Iran last month.
According to radar data analyzed by a research team from the University of Oregon, six Iranian missiles struck military targets in northern, central and southern Israel – including the Tel Nof Air Force Base, the Tziporit Base, and Glilot Camp. The researchers plan to publish a more comprehensive investigation into the damage to military facilities in about two weeks.
These strikes, which had not been previously reported, add to 36 other Iranian missile impacts that caused significant damage to civilian and industrial infrastructure in Israel – estimated in the billions of shekels – and left more than15,000 without shelter.
Israel Defense Forces declined to comment on the report but stated that “all relevant units maintained operational continuity throughout the operation.”
While most Iranian missiles were intercepted by the "Arrow" defense system, the Telegraph's analysis shows that on the seventh and eighth days of the war, about 16% of Iranian missiles breached the Israeli air defenses. The data also indicates a daily increase in the percentage of Iranian missiles penetrating the defense systems over the first eight days of the conflict.
