Occupied territories, the US secretly expands military base
The United States quietly expands its secret military base in Israeli-occupied territories near the besieged Gaza Strip, while the regime continues with its bombing campaign on residential areas in the tightly besieged enclave
In a report on Saturday, the American news organization The Intercept said the Pentagon was quietly proceeding with the construction of facilities for American troops at its secret military base – code-named Site 512 – deep in the Negev desert, just 20 miles from the Gaza Strip. He added that the long-standing Site 512 is actually a radar facility, whose mission is to monitor the skies for missile attacks on Israel, but it failed to detect thousands of rockets fired by the Palestinian resistance group Hamas on October 7 while focused on possible incoming missile attacks. missiles from Iran, more than 700 miles away.
