Iranian Missiles Hit Five Israeli Military Sites During 12-Day War

Satellite radar data analyzed by Oregon State University researchers and reported by The Telegraph reveals that six Iranian missiles struck five Israeli military bases during the recent 12-day war, including key sites such as an air base, intelligence center, and logistics hub. These strikes contradict earlier Israeli claims of minimal damage to military infrastructure and were not publicly disclosed due to strict Israeli military censorship. While Israel's multi-tiered air defense system, including the Iron Dome, David's Sling, Arrow, and US-supplied THAAD systems, intercepted approximately 84-87 percent of Iranian missiles, the success rate of interceptions decreased over time, reaching a 16 percent failure rate by the seventh day of conflict. In addition to military targets, 36 Iranian projectiles caused significant damage to civilian and industrial areas, displacing over 15,000 residents and causing 28 fatalities. Israeli officials emphasized that all military units remained operational throughout the conflict, though local experts and journalists have expressed concern over underreported damage to strategic sites. Iranian officials have publicized their missile strikes as evidence of precision and capability, while analysts warn Iran retains a substantial missile arsenal despite losses during the war.
