The New York Times reports that a rocket fired during the Oct. 7th invasion of Israel, presumably by Hamas, struck near the Sdot Micha military facility in central Israel. International experts believe that the base houses the IAF unit 'Wing 2', which is responsible for the majority of Israel's nuclear-capable Jericho missiles.
The attack caused a fire near the base but does not appear to have caused any damage, or even danger, to the missiles themselves. The report nevertheless claims that new defenses have been added to the base against future rocket attacks.
Hans Kristensen, director of the Federation of American Scientists’ Nuclear Information Project, commented that the base likely contains between twenty-five to fifty Jericho missiles. He likewise believes that the warheads are stored separately from the missiles, and were not in any danger during the attack.
According to the report, the damage was identified using publically available imagery from NASA intended for use in spotting forest fires.

I’m pretty sure they know the launch coordinates or very close proximity.
