Iranian ballistic missiles struck five Israeli military bases during last month’s 12-day war, The Telegraph reported on July 5.
Israel started the war on June 13, stating that its goal was to cripple Iran’s nuclear program. A ceasefire was suddenly announced on June 24, just two days after the United States joined the war by attacking three key nuclear sites in the Islamic Republic.
The new data were shared with the British daily newspaper by United States academics at Oregon State University, who specialize in using satellite radar data to detect bomb damage in war zones.
According to the data, six Iranian missiles hit military bases across northern, central, and southern Israel, including what the report describes as a major air base, an intelligence facility, and a logistics center.
“The radar signatures we analyzed show definitive blast patterns at five separate military sites,” Corey Scher, a researcher with the Oregon State team, told The Telegraph. “These are consistent with missile strikes that likely occurred during the height of the conflict.”
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) declined to confirm or deny the damage reported by The Telegraph. “What we can say is that all relevant units maintained functional continuity throughout the operation,” a military spokesman told the newspaper.
Iran launched over 500 ballistic missiles and around 1,100 suicides drones at targets in Israel during the war, according to the IDF. Hebrew media reported a total of 36 missile impacts and one drone strike in populated areas across Israel.
Israeli health officials said that the Iranian attacks claimed the lives of 28 people, all but one of them civilians, and wounded over 3,000.
According to The Telegraph, the percentage of Iranian missiles that penetrated Israeli air defenses increased during the war, rising from about 2 percent early in the conflict to roughly 16 percent by day seven.
The report did not offer definitive reasons for the increase. However, it cited expert suggestions that the causes “may include the rationing of a limited stock of interceptor missiles on the Israeli side and improved firing tactics and the possible use of more sophisticated missiles by Iran.”

iran is a rival to the jewish supremacist organized crime enclave in palestine? dogshit. the iranians have never, in any way, engaged in the kind of kooky racist imperialist expansionism like eretz israel.
“‘it is terrible what they are doing in israel to bibi netanyahu. he is a war hero, and a prime minister who did a fabulous job working with the united states to bring great success in getting rid of the dangerous nuclear threat in iran. how is it possible that the prime minister of israel can be forced to sit in a courtroom all day long, over nothing’ @real donald trump”. drumpf, world’s biggest lick-spittle shitcock scumbag.
