🇮🇷 What is known about Israel’s Nevatim Airbase hit by Iran?
Iran’s ballistic missiles struck the Israeli Nevatim Air Base in the al-Naqab desert, the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported on Sunday. The agency said Israeli jets took off from Nevatim to conduct the attack on the Iranian Consulate on April 1.
Nevatim Air Base is located 15 km southeast of Beersheba, about 1,100 km away from the western borders of Iran, and 16 km away from Dimona – believed to be home to Israel’s nuclear weapons program.
It is one of Israel’s largest bases, with reportedly four different length runways.
Stealth fighter jets, transport aircraft, tanker aircraft, electronic reconnaissance/surveillance craft, Israeli Air Force One (a converted Boeing 767 for international visits by Israel’s president and prime minister), and F-35I Adir (“The Mighty One”) fighter jets are stationed at the base.
The 122 Squadron “Nachshon” at the base operates several configurations of Gulfstream jets used for electronic reconnaissance and surveillance.
In March 2024, the US Air Force announced that its F-35 stealth jets were certified for use with B61-12 atomic bombs. This triggered speculation that Israel’s F-35I Adir could be capable of transporting and dropping Israeli nuclear weapons, and whether such weapons could be stored at Nevatim.
In 2008, the US purportedly deployed an early warning anti-missile radar system operated by a permanent 120-strong US Army staff at the Nevatim base.
The first runway was built in 1947 for Sherut Avir, the air force of the Haganah military organization, the forerunner of the Israeli Air Force. It was renovated in 1983 as a modern air base with joint Israeli and US government funding.

♻️ What's going on? It seems like nothing is happening. All those bogus news from the USA and Netanyahu’s plans to shift the Rafah attack date are just a waste of time. What we do know is that if Israel attacks Iran, Iran will respond in the worst possible way.

🏴 Update | A mass grave was uncovered in northern Gaza, revealing dozens of bodies, including women killed by Israeli occupation forces.
These bodies had been excavated and bulldozed, and were hidden beneath dirt barriers set up by Israeli bulldozers before their withdrawal from the Beit Lahia area.

🇮🇷 Breaking | Supreme National Security Council of Iran:
If the Zionist regime wants to continue doing evil against Iran, it will receive a response at least 10 times greater than the recent attack
Showing a corner of Iran's deterrence has created terror on the enemy's front. The operation of the honest promise was carried out with the aim of punishing the aggressor and with a deterrent approach
Iran took the least punitive action against the occupying regime and only targeted the air, intelligence and military base of this regime and currently has no other military action on the agenda

⚠️ Beware:
Just for everyone’s understanding, Imam Khamenei is not just a leader or a position within Shia Islam. According to their theology, he holds the highest positions such as Wali al Amr al-Muslimeen, Wali al Muslimeen, Imam al Muslimeen, and Wali al-Faqih Mutlaq. He is also a marja’ al-taqlid (source of emulation) for religious followers.
Additionally, he is the leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran and for many, he is a political leader of Islam. Shia Muslims worldwide, whether from India, Japan, or the USA, follow his teachings and emulate him. They view him as the representative of their awaited Imam Mahdi (A) and the head of the resistance axes, among many other important roles.
Imam Khamenei is a direct descendant of Prophet Muhammad (s) through his grandson Imam Husayn (A), whose lineage continues through Husayn Al Asghar to Ali al-Khamenei.
Therefore, he is not someone for jokes, memes, or casual discussions. It could hurt the sentiments of others, so please be cautious about that.
