An Israeli military official said Wednesday that a key Israeli airbase had sustained damage during this week’s missile attacks by Iran, though it remains unclear whether it took a direct hit.
“We confirm that there was an impact at the base but at a non-critical area,” the official told AFP, referring to the Ramat David base in northern Israel.
“We are investigating whether it was caused by a shrapnel or it was a direct impact. It was most likely a large piece of shrapnel but there was no damage caused to equipment or personnel,” the official added.
Iran and Israel traded fire earlier this week for the first time since a ceasefire was announced in April.
Iran fired nearly 30 missiles at Israel during the clash, according to the military, while Israel retaliated by attacking several targets across Iran.
