Five Israeli Military Bases Directly Hit by Iranian Missiles During War, Report Says
Iranian missiles directly hit five Israeli military bases in the war between Israel and Iran, the British Telegraph reported on Saturday.
According to the report, satellite data analyzed by researchers at the University of Oregon in the United States indicates that six missiles struck bases in the central, northern, and southern parts of the country, including the Tel Nof Air Force Base and the Glilot Camp, which houses the main base of the IDF's elite 8200 intelligence unit.

In response to an inquiry from the Telegraph to the IDF spokesperson on Friday, the military said they would not comment on missile interception rates or damage to the bases.
"What we can say is that all relevant units maintained operational readiness throughout the entire operation," the army said.
According to the IDF, during the 12 days of the war, 36 Iranian missiles struck built-up areas, while the air defense systems recorded an interception rate of 86 percent.
Based on Haaretz's tracking, which relies on IDF reports from the beginning to the end of the war, Iran fired approximately 530 ballistic missiles at Israel in 42 barrages.
