00:20Last night, the skies over southern Israel turned into a battlefield.
00:25On March 18, Iran launched wave after wave of ballistic missiles.
00:31And this time, the target wasn't random.
00:33It was Nevitim Air Base, Israel's most advanced and strategically critical military installation
00:40in the Negev Desert.
00:42This is the base that houses Israel's F-35 stealth fighter jets, the backbone of its
00:48long-range strike capability.
00:50And according to multiple circulating videos, the attack looked intense.
00:56Trails of missiles lighting up the night sky, explosions reported near the base, claims
01:02that cluster warhead missiles were used, weapons designed to break apart mid-air and scatter
01:08multiple explosives, making them much harder to intercept.
01:11But here's where it gets complicated.
01:14Israel says its air defense systems intercepted a large number of incoming missiles.
01:20Iran, on the other hand, is claiming direct hits on Nevitim, calling it a successful strike
01:26on a high-value military target.
01:28So who's right?
01:30Right now, no full confirmation.
01:33Independent verification, including satellite imagery, is still coming in.
01:38Nevitim isn't just another base.
01:41It's a key hub for Israel's deepest strike missions, including operations far beyond its
01:46borders.
01:47If it's been seriously damaged, even temporarily, that could impact Israel's operational reach.
01:53Meanwhile, the bigger picture is getting even more intense.
01:57Missile impacts reported near Tel Aviv.
02:01Civilian areas hit.
02:02Casualties rising.
02:04Regional escalation spreading toward Lebanon and Gulf energy sites.
02:08And both sides are doubling down.
02:10Iran is calling this revenge for recent high-level assassinations.
02:15Israel is continuing deep strikes inside Iran.
02:18So now, the real question is, was this just a show of force, or the start of a new phase
02:25where critical military infrastructure becomes the main target?
02:29Earlier strikes on Israel's Ben-Gurion Airport have also resulted in the damage to three private
02:35aircrafts, according to the recent reports.
02:37This war may have just entered a much more dangerous stage.
02:58Explosions in the sky, debris raining down, and now damage inside Israel's main international airport.
03:06This is how Iran's latest missile strikes are changing the battlefield.
03:11At Ben-Gurion Airport, three private planes have been damaged after Iranian missile attacks,
03:18not by direct hits, but by falling debris from intercepted strikes.
03:22No casualties were reported, but the implications are serious.
03:26According to Israeli authorities, the damage happened over multiple days during repeated missile barrages.
03:32Iran launched waves of ballistic missiles toward central Israel, some equipped with cluster munitions,
03:39designed to break apart mid-air and scatter dozens of explosive bomblets across wide areas.
03:45Even when intercepted, these weapons can still cause destruction,
03:49as fragments and unexploded submunitions fall back to the ground.
03:53That's exactly what happened near Ben-Gurion Airport.
03:57Debris and cluster fragments struck areas around the airport, damaging three parked private aircraft on the tarmac.
04:05Nearby locations, including residential zones and infrastructure, also reported multiple impact points,
04:11small craters, and scattered damage.
04:13This isn't just about damaged planes.
04:16Ben-Gurion Airport is Israel's main civilian gateway and also a strategic hub during wartime.
04:23Flights are already disrupted, airspace is restricted, and runways must be constantly cleared of debris after interceptions.
04:31Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps has openly claimed responsibility for targeting the airport and surrounding areas,
04:38signaling a shift toward hitting high-risibility civilian infrastructure.
04:43Cluster munitions, in particular, are raising global concern due to their wide area impact and long-term impact from unexploded
04:51bomblets.
04:51While Israel continues strikes inside Iran, Iran's response is becoming broader, more intense, and harder to fully intercept.
05:00Even successful defenses are no longer preventing damage on the ground.
05:05For now, the airport remains operational, but increasingly under pressure,
05:09and as missiles keep coming, the line between military and civilian targets is becoming dangerously blurred.

05:40Especially since a 18 first time create an update the explicit sufred power accident and may feel sous-field.
05:40So not correct, edit the sim card is more large and subjective sucks.
