Iran Launches 30 Drones at Israeli Air Base in Negev
On February 28, 2026, Iran launched 30 drones at an Israeli air base in the Negev region. The attack followed a series of US-Israeli aerial strikes targeting Iranian military sites. Israeli officials confirmed the drone strike but reported no casualties.
Iranian state media reported that the drones were launched in response to ongoing US-Israeli aerial aggression. The attack targeted an air base in the Negev, a region in southern Israel. Israeli defense officials confirmed the strike but stated that the drones were intercepted before reaching their targets. Tehran emphasized the attack was a proportional response to US-Israeli actions. Washington has not yet commented on the incident, though it has previously condemned Iranian attacks on Israeli territory.
