Israel has publicly acknowledged for the first time that Iranian air strikes last month breached its defences and hit several military installations. An Israeli military official, speaking on condition of anonymity under briefing rules, told Reuters the number of affected sites was "very few" and that all remained operational. The admission follows a report by Britain’s Telegraph newspaper that six Iranian ballistic missiles struck five Israel Defense Forces bases during the 12-day war, including the Tel Nof air base and the Glilot intelligence camp that houses Unit 8200. Satellite-damage analysts cited by the paper said at least 40 Iranian munitions penetrated Israel’s air-defence network in total. The conflict erupted after Israel’s 13 June strike on Iranian nuclear and missile facilities and ended with a U.S.-brokered cease-fire on 24 June. According to Reuters, the fighting left 28 people dead in Israel and 935 in Iran, as both countries exchanged waves of missiles and drones. While confirming that military targets were hit, Israeli authorities have not disclosed the extent of the damage or identified the specific bases involved beyond the Telegraph’s claims. The official acknowledgement breaks weeks of military censorship that had kept details of the strikes out of the public domain.
