Looks like the missile hit a radar dish.

Satellite imagery released over the past 24 hours has revealed evidence of probable damage at an Iranian air base following an Israeli strike in the early hours of Friday morning.

Iran says the attack involved drones that were neutralised by air defences.

An Umbra Space image captured after Friday's strike shows damage and debris around one component - probably a radar - which has also shifted position slightly.

This assessment was confirmed by an optical satellite image captured by Planet which, despite low resolution, shows a scorch mark at the same location.

They used F-35s to go 159 miles inland and hit an S300 air defense system next to a nuclear facility.

When the Sioux fought Custer and others they used what they called a Coup Stick. It was a big stick with a big rock tied to the end of it. They would ride into the enemy camp and hit them in the head with what amounted to be a hammer, or coup stick. It had a meaning. "You're mine." Then they would circle back, kill the guy, and take his scalp

This attack was a Coup Stick. The Israelis showed they could attack deep inside Iran, and strike Iran's more sensitive locations. It was a message.
