A combo of satellite images captured by the European Commission’s Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite, appearing to show damage to a hangar at the Ramat David airbase in northern Israel following an Iranian ballistic missile attack

Times of Israel – June 9, 2026

Satellite imagery taken Monday appeared to indicate that damage was caused at the Israeli Air Force’s Ramat David Airbase in northern Israel during Iran’s ballistic missile attacks Sunday night.

Low-resolution images dated June 8 from the European Commission’s Sentinel-2 satellite, processed by the Copernicus Browser site, showed a discolored patch where a hangar is located at the airbase, possibly indicating that it was hit during the attacks.

Iran launched 24 ballistic missiles at Israel on Sunday night and Monday morning, with many of them aimed at northern Israel. In addition, the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen fired two ballistic missiles at Israel on Monday morning.

The IDF reported that all of the missiles fired on Sunday night were either intercepted or landed in open areas, and many of those fired Monday were also shot down. No Israelis were hurt in the attacks.

The army did not report any impacts in the area, and the extent of the damage at the base, if any, was unclear.

According to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Iranian forces launched at least one ballistic missile at the northern airbase during its Sunday night barrage. Unconfirmed footage posted to social media claimed to show a missile striking in the area.

 

The airbase, located some 15 kilometers (10 miles) southeast of Haifa, is believed to house three F-16 fighter jet squadrons and a secretive drone squadron.

In the past, the IDF has acknowledged that some of its military bases were hit by Iranian missiles, saying that the facilities remained fully functional.

Israel’s military censor generally bars the publication of the exact locations of missile impacts, particularly those that hit sensitive sites, over fears that doing so will aid Israel’s enemies in refining their targeting.

Iran says 2 air defense soldiers killed in Israeli strike

As for Israel’s strikes on Iran, Iranian state television announced Tuesday that at least two members of the army’s air defense force were killed in Israeli strikes the day before.
