Palmachim
Air Force Base 30 (LLPL)
Palmachim Israeli Air Force Base (ICAO: LLPL) is located near the cities of Rishon LeZion and Yavne on the Mediterranean coast. It is named after the adjacent Kibbutz Palmachim.
The base is home to several S-70 helicopter and UAV squadrons, and serves as a rocket & missile launch site for the Israeli space program.
The launchpad's location ensures that rocket debris falls into water, and that the rocket does not fire over regional neighboring countries near Israel that may feel threatened.
