The Nevatim air base in the Negev was the main target of last night's Iranian attack on Israel. The F35 base from which, according to Tehran, the raid on its consulate in Damascus began on April 1, in which Pasdaran General Mohammad Reza Zahedi was killed. It is the only site among the sites that the Revolutionary Guards publicly referred to in retaliation, which was carried out using 170 drones, 30 cruise missiles, and 120 ballistic missiles, 99% of which were intercepted by Israel and its partners.

According to Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari. All drones and cruise missiles were shot down outside the airspace of the Jewish state By the Israeli Air Force and those of the United States, the United Kingdom, Jordan, France and others. The drones took several hours to reach Israel, and the cruise missiles took just over an hour. Ballistic missiles, on the other hand, have a much shorter flight time, about ten minutes, which is why they are more difficult to intercept, which is why some of them were able to “penetrate” the Israeli air defense.

The Arrow defense system shot down the “vast majority” of the 120 ballistic missiles launchedBut when they were already in Israeli airspace, the Israeli army identified it. For this reason, air sirens were activated to warn residents to stay away from possible shrapnel, as happened in the Negev, where a seven-year-old girl from a Bedouin village was seriously injured. Some of the ballistic missiles that managed to bypass the “Israeli shield” hit Nevatim itself, causing only minor damage, so much so that it is fully operational today. It has become clear that Israel considers this base an Iranian target The official plane of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, “Zion’s Wing,” took off to protect him from the attack.

“Iran thought it would be able to paralyze the base and thus harm our capabilities, but it failed,” Hagari commented, adding, “Fighters will continue taking off and landing at Nevatim, starting with attack and defense, including the F35s that will be launched.” The Israeli army spokesman added: “They are returning now.”
