Israel Reveals Extent of Damage from Iran’s Drone, Missile Strike

Israeli military spokesperson Rear Adm Daniel Hagari has confirmed on Sunday that ballistic missiles from the Islamic Republic of Iran caused significant damage to the Nevatim airbase.

However, he said the missile caused only “minor damage to infrastructure”, insisting that the base remains fully operational.

According to him, the strike only injured a young girl, adding that all drones and cruise missiles launched by Iran were intercepted before entering the country’s airspace.

“Ballistic missiles, only a small number … single digits … fell in the base and around,” he said in a morning briefing.

“A direct hit with minor damage that doesn’t do anything to the operational of the base.”

“One young girl was in intensive care in hospital due to shrapnel injuries after the attacks,” he added.

Hagari described the use of ballistic missiles as an “escalatory factor.”
