The Washington Post newspaper reported that dozens of Iranian missiles have successfully passed through the Israeli air defense system and damaged its military facilities.

Iran Press/ West Asia: The Washington Post newspaper wrote in a report that based on the analysis of satellite images of Iran's missile response to the Israeli regime and its effects, at least 22 long-range ballistic missiles from Iran were fired at Nevatim airbase in the south of the Negev desert on Tuesday night and three missiles were fired at Tel Nof airbase.

"At least two dozen long-range Iranian ballistic missiles broke through Israeli and allied air defenses on Tuesday night, striking or landing near at least three military and intelligence installations, according to a review of videos and photos of the attack and aftermath," the newspaper wrote.

The report says: "Videos verified by The Washington Post showed 20 missiles striking the Nevatim air base, in the southern Negev desert, and three striking the Tel Nof base, in central Israel. Analysts told The Post the visuals were consistent with direct impacts on the bases rather than debris from intercepted missiles. Other videos showed that at least two missiles landed near Tel Aviv in Cinema City Glilot, Hod Hasharon, close to Israel’s Mossad spy agency headquarters, leaving at least two craters."

The paper added: "The findings raise questions about the full scope of the damage to Israeli military bases and suggest that Iran was more successful in evading Israel’s defenses than in April when only two munitions eluded air defenses and impacted Israel."

It added: "The Israeli military said air defense systems identified 180 missiles fired from Iran but did not respond to questions about the number of locations affected by the strikes. Meanwhile, the United States and Israel have said that there was minimal damage on the ground, and the Israeli military said Wednesday that its bases were fully operational. The Pentagon declined to comment on The Post’s findings. The Israeli military did not respond to a request for comment."
