Iran hit five “Israeli” military bases during 12-day war, new satellite data reveals
New radar data indicates that Iranian missiles directly struck at least five "Israeli" military bases during the recent 12-day conflict, according to an analysis shared by US academics at Oregon State University with The Telegraph.
The strikes, which "Israeli" authorities have not publicly disclosed due to strict military censorship laws, reportedly involved six Iranian missiles hitting previously unreported sites across northern, central, and southern "Israel."
These targets included a major air base, an intelligence gathering center, and a logistics base.
When approached for comment, the”Israeli” military declined to discuss missile interception rates or damage to its bases, stating to The Telegraph only that "all relevant units maintained functional continuity throughout the operation."
The revelations complicate the narratives of victory from both sides.
Prominent "Israeli" journalist Raviv Drucker of Channel 13 has publicly stated that "a lot of [Iranian] missile hits in IDF bases, in strategic sites that we still don’t report about to this day."
Corey Scher, a researcher at Oregon State University, whose team specializes in detecting bomb damage using satellite radar data, confirmed they are preparing a fuller assessment set to be published in two weeks.
Analysis from The Telegraph suggests that while most Iranian missiles were intercepted, the proportion breaking through "Israeli" air defenses steadily rose to about 16 percent by day seven of the conflict.
Iranian officials claim their strategy of mixing fast missiles with slower drones confused "Israeli" defense systems, allowing some to penetrate.
