Nevatim Air Base, Israel – Iran has claimed a major strategic victory, announcing that its newly deployed “Nasrallah” multi-warhead ballistic missiles have successfully destroyed large sections of Israel’s Nevatim Air Base — one of the Israeli Air Force’s most important installations in the Negev Desert.

On March 21, 2026, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps fired several of the advanced Nasrallah missiles, each equipped with multiple independently targetable warheads. Iranian state media released dramatic footage showing powerful explosions and fires across the base, claiming the strikes destroyed aircraft hangars, runways, and critical infrastructure. The IRGC described the attack as “precise revenge” for recent Israeli operations and a direct message to both Israel and the United States.

While Israeli officials have confirmed multiple impacts and “serious damage” at Nevatim Air Base, they have not released full details on the extent of destruction or casualties. The base is home to F-35 stealth fighters and plays a key role in Israel’s long-range strike capabilities.

This strike marks a dangerous new phase in the conflict. The successful use of the Nasrallah missile system demonstrates Iran’s growing ability to penetrate Israeli defenses and strike high-value military targets with devastating effect.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed a “swift and crushing response,” and the Israeli Air Force has already begun striking Iranian missile sites and command centers in retaliation.

As fires continue to burn at Nevatim Air Base and the region braces for further escalation, one thing is clear: Iran is no longer just threatening — it is actively striking at the core of Israel’s military power.

The war has entered a more lethal and unpredictable chapter.
