The Washington Post reported that visuals show that Iranian missiles hit Israeli military sites, adding that the findings raise questions about the full scope of the damage to Israeli military bases.

On October 1, Iran launched around 200 missiles toward the occupied Palestinian territories, and in one of its statements following the operation, Iran said that three military bases in Tel Aviv were targeted: Nevatim, Hatzerim, and the Tel Nof Airbase.
