Satellite images from Sentinel-2 show a discolored patch near a hangar at Israel’s Ramat David airbase after Iran’s missile strike.
Iran fired two dozen ballistic missiles, most at Israel’s north, with the Israeli Defense Forces intercepting all Sunday missiles and many Monday.

History

Historical Context

In April 1996 Hezbollah fired 151 rockets into northern Israel, prompting Israel’s 17-day Operation Grapes of Wrath that saw over 600 air raids and a ceasefire on 27 April. The United States brokered the ceasefire, while the United Nations condemned civilian deaths. That cycle of rocket attacks and Israeli retaliation frames today’s Iranian missile launch toward the Ramat David base.
