01 · THE DISPATCH

New footage posted Wednesday documents a US military base under construction in Israel near the Gaza border. The video shows buildings and infrastructure at the site, which according to the report is intended to serve the international force for Gaza. The Zioneer reported on June 10 that the US was reportedly planning to establish a large military base near the Gaza Strip, as first published by Israel Hayom, though no location or timeline was given. The new footage appears to be the first visual evidence of the project, but no official confirmation from the US or Israeli governments has been released regarding the base's purpose or operational status.
