Report on Damage Caused by Iranian Strikes against Israel

The Telegraph reports that satellite radar data indicates that Iranian missiles successfully struck five Israeli military installations. London’s The Telegraph notes that the strikes have not been made public by the Israeli authorities, and cannot be reported from within the country because of strict military censorship laws.

The new data were shared with The Telegraph by academics at Oregon State University, who use satellite radar data to detect bomb damage in war zones. Their analysis suggests five previously unreported military facilities were hit by six Iranian missiles in the north, south and center of Israel, including a major air base, an intelligence gathering centre and a logistics base.

The Telegraph cites Raviv Drucker of Israeli Channel 13, one of the country’s best-known journalists, as saying last week: “There were a lot of [Iranian] missile hits on IDF bases, in strategic sites that we still don’t report about to this day.... It created a situation where people don’t realize how precise the Iranians were and how much damage they caused in many places.”
