Satellite images reveal extent of damage to Zionist regime's military bases in Iran's strikes
Newly analyzed satellite imagery has exposed damage to multiple Zionist regime’s military installations from Iran and Hezbollah's defensive operations, raising questions about the extent of destruction that Tel Aviv may be concealing from public view.
Analysis of satellite images published by Soar shows strikes on several military bases across the occupied territories during Iran’s recent defensive strikes, codenamed Operation True Promise 4, that came in response to the US-Israeli aggression starting on February 28.
The unprovoked aggression began with airstrikes assassinating senior Iranian officials, including Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, and targeting civilian infrastructure.
Iran responded by launching devastating strikes against US and Israeli bases and assets across the region.
The report by Yedioth Ahronoth, released Friday with military censor approval, has used low-quality images, casting further doubt on the regime's transparency about the actual scale of damage sustained.
Images from the Sentinel-2 satellite reveal that Ramat David Air Base was hit in two separate areas. According to the analysis, one damaged zone apparently housed support vehicles and equipment, while the second served as a refueling and service point for fighter jets—critical infrastructure for Israel's air operations.
The imagery also points to a sudden change near a structure inside the Mishar base, a Unit 8200 signals intelligence facility near Safed. Soar's analysis indicates a possible strike on the base between March 5 and March 10.
Additional satellite images show damage to a position at Nevatim Air Base, clearly visible on March 25. The base has been a key target in Iran's response to the US-Israeli aggression.
Furthermore, images reveal a major fire at Camp Shimshon beginning March 10, the same day Hezbollah announced it attacked the site with a swarm of drones. According to the analysis, the fire burned for several days and spread across approximately 200 meters inside the base.
Comparisons with older high-resolution images from 2016, 2024, and 2025 showed the damaged area had consistently been used for operational purposes, including military vehicle placement and logistical preparations.
The analysis noted that past images showed no significant vegetation in the area, "indicating that the fire was caused by a strike on a significant area inside the base rather than by burning vegetation."
The deliberate degradation of image quality by Israeli military censors suggests authorities may be attempting to minimize the perceived effectiveness of Iran's defensive operations.
Since the unprovoked aggression began, Iran has launched approximately 670 missiles and 765 drones toward Israeli-occupied territories, according to Yedioth Ahronoth.
Against this backdrop, Israel's military establishment remains concerned that ballistic missiles are not central to Iran-US talks on a permanent ceasefire.
The war has been paused since April 8, when a Pakistani-mediated ceasefire came into effect.
Meanwhile, the Zionist regime has been reportedly pushing the United States to launch another round of war against Iran, as the wars in June 2025 and February failed to achieve their stated goals.
