Hatzor Airbase (Hebrew: בָּסִיס חֵיל-הַאֲוִויר חָצוֹר) (ICAO: LLHS), also titled Kanaf 4 (lit. Wing 4) is an Israeli Air Force (IAF) base, located in central Israel (but in the Southern District) near kibbutz Hatzor Ashdod after which it is named. It has three runways, each just under 2.5 kilometers long. However, there have been no fighter jets stationed there since 2021, only patrol aircraft, UAVs and defense missiles. A Combined Operations Center for the US military and Israel has also been built there in 2021.

㉓ Reviewed in the sweep
Hatzor Airbase is an Israeli Air Force base near Ashdod that was previously an RAF airfield under the British Mandate. Through 2010 the opening said that on the night of 25 February 1946, "Irgun militants attacked the airbase and destroyed several parked RAF Halifax transports." Today the opening carries no mention of that attack at all; the word survives once elsewhere in the article. A reader today learns the base has hosted Israeli fighter pilots and a joint US-Israel operations center, and not that Irgun fighters once attacked it and destroyed several British aircraft.
