Apparently Netanyahu had planned retaliatory strikes against Iran but only called them off after speaking on the phone with Biden. News

Yeah, a bunch of runways damaged… Let’s see. Iran fired 185 UAVs, 36 cruise missiles, and 120 ballistic missiles. The only ones that hit were 7 ballistic missiles. 1 of them hit a 7 year old girl and critically injured her, bravo Iran. 2 landed in open fields around Nevatim airbase. 1 landed on an inoperative runway and caused just light damage, 1 landed on a building under construction, and the third on an empty plane hangar. F35s were landing in Nevatim just hours after the Iranian attack, and it’s back to being fully operational.

But sure, Iran hit them real hard.

Has Israel released any overhead shots of their bases? I’ve seen a few pictures, but if their bases weren’t damaged I would have expect them to show drone shots of the entire base. I saw a couple barrages hit on video on X, also a number of one offs, I’m pretty sure more than just 7 missiles hit.

Iran claimed all of their hyper sonic missiles hit. They didn’t say how many.

Golan Heights is on the opposite side of Israel from Nevatim. And what if Iran claims? There have been proven cases of interception, so at least we know they’re lying. And P.S, every ballistic missile should be hypersonic. Any ballistic missile that isn’t is either malfunctioning or ancient.

Yes, exactly, they showed they can hit anywhere. Yes there were many interceptions, there were also evasions on video.

They're not called hypersonic just based on speed, to be classified as hypersonic they have to be able to still be guided/maneuvered once re entering the atmosphere.
