Report claims US constructing military base near Gaza fence
Newspaper Israel Hayom reported that the US military has begun constructing a large base near the perimeter fence surrounding the Gaza Strip, close to the Reim military base in southern Israel.
According to the report, the facility is intended to serve as a military and civilian headquarters for international organisations and personnel operating in the area.
The newspaper said the base could be used to support implementation of what it described as the “Trump plan” and would replace a multinational headquarters previously located in Kiryat Gat.
The report has not been independently verified, and there was no immediate confirmation from US or Israeli officials regarding the claimed construction project.
