Israel set up a secret military base in the Iraqi desert to support its aerial campaign against Iran, the Wall Street Journal reported on May 9, citing United States officials and other sources.
Israel built the base shortly before the war began in late February to serve as a hub for logistics to support the Israeli Air Force, according to the sources, who noted that the base also housed special forces troops and search-and-rescue teams.
To protect the outpost, Israeli troops even launched strikes against Iraqi forces who nearly discovered it in early March, the report added.
The strikes 4 on March killed one Iraqi soldier, the Iraqi government said at the time, after Iraqi media reported that a local shepherd witnessed “unusual military activity,” including helicopters and gunfire in a remote area near the central city of Karbala. According to the WSJ, the Israeli strikes succeeded in deterring Iraqi forces from further investigation.
Iraq, which initially blamed the attack on the Americans, said: “This reckless operation was carried out without coordination or approval.” However, the U.S. was not involved in the operation, sources told the news outlet.
“It appears there was a certain force on the ground before the strike, supported from the air, operating beyond the capabilities of our units,” a top Iraqi military official said at the time.
The report points to statements made by Israeli Air Force chief Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar in March, when he said that special forces had been conducting “extraordinary” operations during the conflict with Iran.
“The troops of the air force’s special units are currently carrying out extraordinary missions that can spark one’s imagination,” Bar said, without elaborating further.
WSJ report is not surprising. As mentioned, there were already reports in Iraqi media of unusual activities in several remote areas, mainly near Karbala. Still, these activities were previously attributed to the U.S., which is likely the reason why Iran-aligned armed factions in Iraq didn’t take serious action.
If the war resumes, it will be harder for Israel to use Iraqi territories in such a way, as the Iraqis will likely react faster and with more force to any suspicious activities.

when will israel be sanctioned for causing all this grief?
when enough organized resistance ousts the israeli installed puppets in the west. you cant get rid of them by democratic means becuase they control thw press and all news outlets and even are protected by blasphamy laws speaking the truth about what jews are doing gets you put in a box.
so democratic means are very limited. and resistance and ngo building takes years. people are barely becomming aware of jewish power let alone organizing what is needed to remove it from our governments and institutions.
and there is infighting jews are organized like a single organism, jews will go out if their way to defend their own worst offenders. no matter if its leo frank who graped and mrdered a 13yo mary phagan or if its epstein or if hes left or right a jew will go out of his way to attack you and acuse you if you expose epstein and try to have him prosecuted. meanwhile we infight over everything and we are never organized as a single entity
so all jews are in on it and the fact they defend their worst against you the vctim means they are all complicit of the crimes of their worst offenders.
its almost impossible to bring 1-2 guys togheter and do whatever it takes build what is needed to oist the jews from power our people will always infight over nothing never work togheter as a single entity like the jews do. this is why these parasites always win.
😆😆😆
