A satellite image shows Iran’s arsenal has the ability to reach Israel.

A satellite image after last week's Iranian  attack on Israel apparently shows some damage to a taxiway at an Israeli desert air base.

Despite Iran launching hundreds of drones, and ballistic and cruise missiles in Tehran's unprecedented assault on the country, Nevatim air base in southern Israel only sustained minor damage, according to the image viewed by the Associated press.

Israeli air defenses, along with fighter jets supported by the U.S., the United Kingdom, and neighboring Jordan, successfully intercepted the vast majority of the incoming attacks, officials said. 

The satellite image, taken last Friday for the Associated Press, shows a fresh blacktop along a taxiway near hangars in the southern part of the Nevatim air base, approximately 65 kilometers (40 miles) south of Jerusalem, apparently indicating a repaired section. 

Footage of the spot previously released by the Israeli military showed construction equipment repairing the damaged taxiway.

It's unclear what other damage may have occurred at other targets.

Despite the minimal damage report, the "operation became a sign of the power of the Islamic Republic and its armed forces," Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi insisted Friday.

"It also showed the steely determination of our nation and our wise leader, the commander of all forces," he added. 

The April 13 attack was the first direct military assault on the country by a foreign nation since Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein launched Scud missiles at Israel during the 1991 Gulf War.
