Satellite imagery published by Soar Atlas early Tuesday morning on X/Twitter may indicate that Ramat David Air Base in the North may have been struck during the recent escalation in conflict with Iran over Sunday-Monday.
Comparing satellite footage from Monday to footage from June 5, it is possible to see what appears to be the impact of a strike at a hangar at the base, which is near Migdal Ha’emek in northern Israel.
It is unclear from the imagery what the extent of the damage would be or what may have been damaged.
The IDF did not respond to The Jerusalem Post’s inquiry for clarification, nor did it respond to Yediot Aharonot, which first reported Soar Atlas’s X post.

Although the imagery is low-res, a white patch where the hangar previously stood is visible. Thanks @tom_bike for the find.#MiddleEast #Israel #IranWar https://t.co/NtOlkFdU7E pic.twitter.com/JJmGcv4x8E

Last month, there was also imagery published of what appeared to be two strikes that impacted Ramat David during Operation Roaring Lion.
Ramat David normally houses five air force F-16 and drone squadrons.
Ramat David reportedly hit by Hezbollah rockets, drones in 2024
There were also reports of the base being struck by Hezbollah in 2024.
Despite the strikes on the base and on other air force bases over the last three years of war, the Israeli air force has said it has, to date, not lost a single fighter jet.
Before Iran’s major attacks, the air force and the IDF have redistributed soldiers and fighter jets to avoid losing critical assets when, at times, not every base can be properly protected.
