Agree with what you said. Iran is targeting the known airbases. Keep in mind they do use under ground complexes and I believe there are secret US controlled ones and other unnamed Israeli air bases across the country.Despite missile and drone strikes in Israel, Iran has not been able to degrade Israel's ability to use it's air force to strike. If one thing we learned from our conflict with India was that they started hitting our airbases to degrade PAF and at one point the PAF chief said that if we don't hit back now, we may not even have a place to take up from. Iran needs to target Israeli airbases like it is doing with US bases. Israel will of course use more interceptors and in a way deplete their resources much quicker. Hizbulla is doing the same with striking key military facilities.
It is said they could land and take off from Cyprus too.
There is a lot of secrecy around where Israeli jets are taking off from in the country.
Even if hit, they appear to remain operational. Iran would need to be in closer proximity to be able to target them with drones.
Hezbollah may be firing at the Ramat Air Base in the north but with fewer rockets that don't have large explosive payload.
Hezbollah prior to 2023 was supposed to have capability to saturate at least that airbase with rockets but doesn't appear to be able to today.
Or can land some hits that cause minimal damage.
Hamas tried to reach the Hatzerim airbase on October 7 with ground troops but were unable to in time.
