New satellite images have shown major damage to Israel's Nevatim air base as a result of an Iranian medium-range ballistic missile attack. One of the objects damaged in the strike was a shelter for Israeli Air Force F-35I fighters. However, sources say there is no information on whether the F-35I fighters were in the shelter at the time of the strike. Information on the presence of combat aircraft in the strike zone can only be known to defense agencies that have access to radar reconnaissance. Experts note that such information can be obtained using SAR mode in the S- or X-band, but this information is not available to the media.

In addition to the F-35I shelter, the attack also damaged other facilities at the air base, including key infrastructure elements of the aviation engineering service. This damage could affect the operation of base equipment and aircraft maintenance, which in turn affects the combat capability of the IAF.

Experts emphasize that these destructions provide new insight into the accuracy of Iranian ballistic missiles. Although the circular error probable and maneuverability characteristics of Iranian warheads are not ideal, the strike was effective enough to damage strategic targets. This indicates the increased capabilities of Iranian weapons systems.
