IDF acknowledges Iran missiles hit two airbases, says planes undamaged and continuing to strike

IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari acknowledges that several Iranian ballistic missiles hit the Nevatim and Tel Nof airbases during Tuesday night’s attack.

“As a result of our [air] defense capabilities, and the responsible behavior of the public, there were no injuries,” he says.

“There were several impacts in the center of the country, in civilian areas, and there were also impacts in airbases, in Nevatim and Tel Nof,” Hagari continues.

“These impacts did not hit planes and did not harm the Air Force’s competence. The airbases, both Nevatim and Tel Nof, are fully functioning,” he says.

“Immediately after the attack, Air Force planes continued to strike in the Middle East, and are striking, even now,” Hagari says.

He says that Israel will respond to the attack of some 200 missiles, and it will be “with the method and in the place and time of our choosing, in accordance with the political echelon.”
