Israel admits air bases were hit in Iran attack

Middle East Monitor

The Israeli army yesterday admitted that some of its air bases were hit during Iran’s missile attack on the occupation state on Tuesday night, but claimed the impact was insignificant.

Army Radio quoted the military as saying that the strikes did not target aircraft, weapons, or important operational infrastructure, but damaged office buildings and other maintenance areas in the bases that do not impact the Israeli Air Force’s functions.

“No air force aircraft were damaged in the attack and all of the missile impacts in the air bases are deemed by the military as ‘ineffective’, meaning that no harm was caused to the continuous operations of the air force,” the army said in a statement.

The army denied Iranian claims that hypersonic missiles had been used in Tuesday’s attack and cited security officials as saying that Iran does not possess such missiles.

On Tuesday evening, Iran launched 181 ballistic missiles at Israel in an unprecedented attack in response to the assassination of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh and the Secretary General of Hezbollah Hassan Nasrallah.

The Israeli army said the effectiveness of the attack had been measured based on the extent of the damage to infrastructure and vital assets and the number of casualties, not the number of missiles that ultimately hit targets.

It also noted that the air defences succeeded in preventing significant damage and human losses.
