Satellite imagery may indicate that damage was caused at the Israeli Air Force’s Ramat David Airbase in northern Israel during Iran’s ballistic missile attacks.
Low-resolution images dated June 8 from the European Commission’s Sentinel-2 satellite, processed by the Copernicus Browser site, show a discolored patch where a hangar is located at the airbase, possibly indicating that it was hit during the attacks.

Although the imagery is low-res, a white patch where the hangar previously stood is visible. Thanks @tom_bike for the find.#MiddleEast #Israel #IranWar https://t.co/NtOlkFdU7E pic.twitter.com/JJmGcv4x8E

Iran launched 24 ballistic missiles at Israel on Sunday night and Monday morning, with many of them aimed at northern Israel. The IDF reported that all of the missiles fired on Sunday night were intercepted, and many of those fired Monday were also shot down.
The extent of the damage at the base, if any, is unclear.
