Ein Shemer Airfield (Hebrew: מחנה עין שמר, English: Shemer's Source) is an Israeli Air Force (IAF) base in northern Israel, located approximately 6 km east of Hadera in the Haifa District, named after the nearby kibbutz Ein Shemer. It houses no fighter jets or helicopters but UAVs for testing and a defense missile battery with long-range radar.
