An analysis by satellite imagery company Soar has revealed the extent of damage caused to Israeli military bases during March by Iranian strikes and attacks by Hezbollah.
According to the Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, an analysis of satellite images published by Soar showed damage to several Israeli military bases across the country following the latest round of fighting, before a ceasefire came into effect last month.
Images from the Sentinel-2 satellite showed that the Ramat David Airbase was damaged in two areas during the war with Iran.
The images indicated that one of the damaged areas appeared to be used for support vehicles and equipment, while the second area was used for refuelling and maintenance of fighter jets.
The images also showed a sudden change to the ground surface in March near a building inside the Mishar Base, which belongs to Unit 8200 near Safed.
According to Soar’s analysis, the change in the ground surface suggests a possible strike on the base between 5 and 10 March.
The images also showed damage at a defensive position inside the Nevatim Airbase. The analysis said the damage was clearly visible at a small defensive site inside the base on 25 March.
