The Wall Street Journal reports that satellite images and videos confirm that Iranian long-range ballistic missiles successfully penetrated Israeli air defense systems, striking military bases.
Specifically, 20 missiles hit the Navatim airbase in the southern Negev, while three others targeted the Tel Nof Airbase, creating large craters as a result.
The use of faster ballistic missiles in this attack poses a greater threat to civilian infrastructure and heavily populated areas, signaling potentially more serious consequences in future strikes.
In response to the Israeli assassination of key figures, Iran launched around 200 ballistic missiles towards Zionist regime bases across occupied Palestinian territories, promising an even stronger retaliation if provoked further.
