Israeli Airbase Damaged During Iranian Missile Attack

An Israeli Air Force base has sustained damage following an Iranian missile attack, a military official has confirmed, amid renewed tensions after a previous ceasefire. The official stated that the Ramat David airbase in northern Israel was impacted during the barrage earlier this week. “We confirm there was an impact at the base but in a non-critical area,” the official told AFP on Wednesday. The Israeli military is still investigating the cause of the damage, though it emphasised that no personnel were affected. “We are investigating whether it was caused by shrapnel or a direct hit. It is most likely large shrapnel but there is no damage to equipment or personnel,” the official added. Iran and Israel traded fire earlier this week for the first time since a ceasefire was announced in April. According to the Israeli military, Iran fired nearly 30 missiles at Israel during the clashes, while Israel retaliated by striking several targets across Iran.
