Airbase may have been hit by Iranian missile

By the Editorial Team · Wednesday, June 10, 2026

Satellite images indicate that Ramat David Airbase in northern Israel may have been hit during Iranian missile attacks on Monday, with potential damage seen to a hangar at the key Israeli Air Force facility. This site is strategically important as it hosts multiple fighter squadrons, and the incident follows ongoing efforts by Israel to redeploy assets to protect against missile threats amid the prolonged regional conflict.

Satellite imagery suggests that Ramat David Airbase in northern Israel may have been struck during Iranian missile attacks launched on Monday. The possible impact site appears to be a hangar at the Israeli Air Force (IAF) base, located southeast of Haifa near Migdal Ha’emek, according to a comparison of images published Tuesday by Soar Atlas.

The analysis compared satellite photographs from Monday with those taken on June 5, revealing what could be damage consistent with an airstrike. However, the extent of any damage and its potential operational impact remain unclear based on the available imagery.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) did not respond to requests for comment regarding the incident, nor did they address inquiries from other media outlets reporting on the satellite findings.

Ramat David Airbase, a key installation for the IAF, typically hosts five squadrons of F-16 fighter jets and drones. The base has been targeted in previous conflicts, including reports of missile strikes by Hezbollah in 2024 and during Operation Roaring Lion last month, when two suspected airstrikes were documented by satellite imagery.

Despite the repeated attacks on Ramat David and other airbases during the ongoing regional conflict spanning three years, the IAF has maintained that none of its fighter jets have been lost to enemy fire.

Prior to the recent Iranian missile strikes, Israeli forces reportedly undertook a strategic redeployment of personnel and aircraft across their airbases. This adjustment aimed to minimize the risk of losing critical assets, acknowledging that not all bases can be effectively defended at all times.
