The Israeli military confirmed that Ramat David air base in northern Israel was hit during Iran's missile fire earlier in the week, after satellite images appeared to show damage. A military official told AFP the impact was in a non-critical area, most likely from a large piece of shrapnel, with no damage to equipment or personnel, and that it was under investigation.
Why it matters
The IRGC had named Ramat David as its target on June 7, and this was the first acknowledged damage from that attack.
