Ramat David Airbase in northern Israel was hit by a missile fragment overnight between Sunday and Monday during the escalation<\/a> between Israel and Iran<\/a>, the IDF confirmed to The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Initial reports in Israeli media and the Post<\/a> on Tuesday highlighted that the base appeared to have been hit, citing satellite imagery published by Soar Atlas on X\/Twitter earlier that day.<\/p>\n

The military told the Post that no injuries were caused and that no damage was done to structures that affect flight operations.<\/p>\n

However, some minor damage was caused to equipment and other support facilities, possibly damaging a road or pathway within the air base.<\/p>\n

Investigations remain underway as to the cause of the incident.<\/p>\n

These ongoing investigations include determining whether the fragment that hit was a whole missile, a fragment from an interception, or part of a warhead or other explosive munition.<\/p>\n

The fact that investigations are ongoing suggests the impact may have been caused by a whole missile hitting the base, unintercepted.<\/p>\n

Soar Atlas compared satellite footage from Monday with footage from June 5, appearing to show the impact of an airstrike on a hangar at the IAF base southeast of Haifa, near Migdal Ha\u2019emek.<\/p>\n

Ramat David Airbase hosts the Israel Air Force’s 101st Fighter Squadron, consisting of F-16<\/a> fighter jets, as well as drone squadrons.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time that munitions fired by Iran or Iranian-backed terror groups have been reported to hit the airbase.<\/p>\n

Last month, imagery was published of what appeared to be two airstrikes that impacted Ramat David Airbase during Operation Roaring Lion.<\/p>\n

The base was reportedly also hit by Hezbollah rockets in 2024, as the Lebanese terror group fired across the border into northern Israel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ramat David Airbase in northern Israel was hit by a missile fragment overnight between Sunday and Monday during…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":485950,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,1031,87,4716,11982,43,157283,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-485949","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-idf","tag-iran","tag-israeli-air-force","tag-missiles","tag-news","tag-operation-roaring-lion","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/485949","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=485949"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/485949\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/485950"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=485949"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=485949"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=485949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
