In sure the base took a lot of damage but you must know that Israel had like a 8-10 hour heads up..you think they had all their planes just sitting around ready to get destroyed…I’m sure hangars and the runway was destroyed tho…which Israel can fix in a couple of days.
The ones who wasn’t moved into the underground bunkers was surely in the sky.
A lot of Tankers in the sky suggesting a lot of refueling operations and playing keep away with assets including Tankers..
All in all this just was a lick back type of attack that really didn’t do any real damage to Israel or stunt their capabilities…

Reports have indicated that the bulk of Nevatim Air Base’s F-35s - over 20 fighters - were destroyed in the attack, with the stealth fighters representing one of the most high value targets in Israel. The facility has been widely referred to as Israel’s “most important air base” due to the importance of the F-35 in the country’s fleet. Israel fields just two squadrons of the costly stealth jets, and relies on them heavily as the remainder of the fighter fleet relies on largely obsolete avionics and old mechanically scanned array radars. F-35s play a central role in Israeli plans for potential attacks on Iran, with their stealth capabilities and advanced avionics, including electronic warfare systems and other air defence suppression features, making them optimal assets for such operations. The destruction of F-35s is thus an important step towards limiting Israel’s ability to respond with further escalation. Although Israel has a third squadron’s worth of F-35s on order, significant issues with production, which remains at a fraction of initially planned rates, has resulted in a very long delivery queue, and means Israel will only begin to receive the newly ordered fighters from 2028.
