Satellite images published by the Associated Press (AP) showed the damage to the Israeli occupation's Nevatim air base in southern occupied Palestine after it was targeted by a massive barrage of Iranian ballistic missiles as part of Operation True Promise 2.

The images, taken after the Iranian operation, show a large hole in the roof of a row of buildings near the main runway, while large pieces of debris can be seen scattered around the building.

In this context, it is noteworthy that the Israeli occupation's Nevatim Air Base is one of the most significant and largest strategic air bases across "Israel", as it contains 3 runways, and the 140 Squadron otherwise known as the Golden Eagle Squadron, a squadron of Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II fighters, another squadron of F- 35, two transport squadrons, a refueling squadron, stealth aircraft, Nahshon 122, formerly known as Dakota Squadron, a squadron of Gulfstream G550 and G500 spy planes, AEW&C aircraft, and aircraft used for signals intelligence gathering (special electronic mission aircraft).

The base houses the headquarters of the Strategic Air Command of the Israeli occupation Air Force and the Israeli occupation's presidential plane Wing of Zion.

According to the AP news agency, satellite images of a hangar at a major Israeli military air base appear to reveal a significant hole in the roof after a heavy barrage of Iranian missiles on Tuesday night.

Geographically, the base is located 15 kilometers southeast of Beer Sheba, 16 kilometers from the Dimona center, and about 1,100 kilometers from Iran's western border.

Historically, the base was established in 1947 on the ruins of a runway built by the British occupation and used by the zionist Sherut Avir air force belonging to the Haganah terrorist organization which ethnically cleansed Palestine during the Nakba of 1948 alongside other zionist terror organizations, while the base was renovated in 1983 with funding from the United States.

Two days ago, Iran targeted the Nevatim base and the Hatsarim base, which houses F-15 aircraft, that were used in the assassination of Hezbollah Secretary-General martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, in addition to the Tel Nof base, located near Tel Aviv, in response to the assassination of the martyrs, the Secretary General of Hezbollah, Iranian Major General Abbas Nilforooshan, and the head of Hamas' political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, in response to the assassination of the martyrs.

Iran's Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed that 90% of the missiles launched in the operation struck their targets, stressing that the attack was carried out within the framework of the right of legitimate defense and in accordance with international laws.

In turn, CNN confirmed that a large number of Iranian missiles hit the Nevatim base in the al-Naqab desert and that the Tel Nof base, located more than 22 kilometers south of Tel Aviv, was also hit by missiles during the operation launched by the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Moreover, videos also showed that at least two missiles landed near the Mossad headquarters in the Galilut neighborhood of Tel Aviv in the Iranian operation.
