The IDF confirmed on Tuesday that interceptor debris from an Iranian strike last Sunday hit a non-operational compound at Ramat David Airbase, damaging a non-operational warehouse. The military emphasized that no equipment was damaged and no casualties were reported, as the fragment was assessed to be a broken interceptor piece rather than a direct strike.
The IDF has officially confirmed that debris from the Iranian strike on Sunday evening struck the Ramat David Airbase. The fragment, identified as part of an interceptor rather than a direct missile hit, landed in a non-operational area of the base that primarily stores forklifts and technical equipment, according to security sources. The military said no equipment was damaged and no casualties occurred. As The Zioneer reported earlier on Tuesday, the IDF had initially stated that an interceptor fragment was found at the base, with no casualties or damage. The current confirmation provides more specific information about the location: a logistics warehouse in a non-operational sector. The confirmation follows satellite imagery published on Monday that appeared to show damage at the base, obtained during the most recent round of fighting between Israel and Iran. The IDF's clarification that the debris was interceptor-related rather than a direct strike adds context to those images. Multiple Israeli media outlets have reported the IDF confirmation, with consistent accounts that the damaged structure was non-operational and held no critical equipment.
