Exclusive: Iran Missile Damaged Sensitive Israeli Intelligence Site
The Feb. 28 strike landed only feet from Israel’s super-secret spy satellite agency in the heart of old Tel Aviv
On the first day of the joint U.S.-Israeli war against Iran in late February, an Iranian intermediate-range ballistic missile evaded Israel’s heralded air defenses and heavily damaged a secretive geospatial intelligence facility inconspicuously located in a residential Tel Aviv neighborhood, SpyTalk has learned.
The huge Feb. 28 blast in Tel Aviv’s historic Lev Ha’ir quarter, which demolished a residential apartment building and caused serious structural damage to several others nearby, was widely reported by both Israeli and international media. The blast also killed a Filipina caregiver.
But the damage to the National Geodetic Institute, which was located just 50 feet away in one of the neighborhood’s apartment buildings, well within the missile’s blast radius, has gone unreported until now.
