Hundreds of Iranian drones were destroyed during airstrikes on a base in western Iran last month, which Tehran blames on Israel, the Haaretz daily reports.
The strike on the base in Kermanshah was carried out in mid-February by at least six attack drones, Haaretz says citing reports in the Hezbollah affiliated Al-Maydan news.
The attack caused major damage to Iran’s drone fleet, the report says.
Until now, neither Iran, nor Israel has commented on the strike.
The report says that the recent Iranian missile attack on Erbil, Iraq was a response to this strike on the airbase.
