(Worthy News) – Previously undisclosed satellite radar data shows that Iranian missiles directly struck five Israeli military installations during the recent 12-day war between Israel and Iran, according to an exclusive report from The Telegraph. The findings, derived from radar imaging by Oregon State University researchers, suggest a more extensive impact on Israeli military infrastructure than publicly acknowledged by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
The six missile strikes hit critical bases in central, northern, and southern Israel, including Tel Nof Air Force Base, the Glilot intelligence compound housing Unit 8200, and the Tziporit camp in the north. Additional facilities near Tulkarem and Beit Nehemia were also hit, with one site reportedly struck twice.
The IDF declined to confirm or deny the specific details but stated that “all relevant units maintained operational continuity throughout the operation.” A senior Israeli military official speaking to Reuters acknowledged the hits for the first time on Tuesday, stating that “very few” bases were impacted and that they remained functional throughout the conflict.
Despite the IDF’s robust multilayered defense systems—including Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and the Arrow ballistic missile defense—approximately 16% of incoming Iranian missiles managed to penetrate Israeli and U.S.-assisted defenses by the seventh day of fighting, according to The Telegraph. U.S. systems, including two ground-based THAAD batteries and ship-launched interceptors from the Red Sea, supplemented Israeli defenses and reportedly launched at least 36 THAAD missiles during the war, each costing around $12 million.
Iran’s strategy, reportedly involving simultaneous barrages of drones and ballistic missiles, was aimed at overwhelming Israeli defenses. “Many [drones] don’t even get through—they’re intercepted—but they still cause confusion,” an Iranian official told The Telegraph.
In total, 28 Israelis were killed during the conflict, a low figure considering the scale of the attack and a testament to Israel’s civilian alert system and widespread use of bomb shelters. However, over 15,000 residents were displaced, many of them relocated to hotel accommodations.
While Iran’s military suffered significant losses—including the reported destruction of over 200 out of 400 missile launchers—senior Iranian commanders, such as IRGC deputy commander Maj. Gen. Ali Fazli, have insisted that only a fraction of their capabilities were deployed. “We have not yet opened the doors of even one of our missile cities,” Fazli claimed, suggesting that 70–75% of Iran’s missile capacity remains untouched.
Analysts warn that Iran’s shift toward mass missile production could soon expand its stockpile from an estimated 2,500 missiles to as many as 20,000 in the coming years—raising alarms in Israel and across the region about future confrontations.
A full damage assessment by the Oregon State team is expected within weeks and could provide further insights into the extent of Iran’s missile effectiveness during the conflict.
