Analysis of satellite images published by Soar shows damage to several IDF bases across Israel from the latest round of fighting, before the ceasefire began last month, Israel’s Ynet news outlet reports.

It noted that the report was published “with the approval of the military censor”.

Images from the Sentinel-2 satellite show that the Ramat David Air Base was hit in two areas during the war with Iran. Citing analysis, Ynet said one of the “damaged areas was apparently used for support vehicles and equipment, while the second served as a refuelling and service point for fighter jets”.

Additional satellite images show damage to a defensive position at the Nevatim Air Base. Citing image analysis, Ynet said the damage was “clearly visible on March 25 at a small defensive position inside the base”.
