According to the "Wall Street Journal," Israel has taken an unprecedented step by establishing a secret military base in the deserts of Iraq to support its extensive air operations against Iran.

This base, which was built before the onset of hostilities and with the knowledge of the United States, hosts Israeli special forces and rescue units for pilots who might be shot down during the attacks. According to informed officials, the deployment of this logistics center, located 1,600 kilometers from Israel, has played a key role in managing thousands of airstrikes by Tel Aviv against military targets of the Islamic Republic within Iran in recent weeks.

The report reveals that the hideout nearly got exposed in early March after a local shepherd reported suspicious helicopter movements. Following this report, the Iraqi army dispatched forces to inspect the area, but Israeli forces prevented them from accessing the secret site by carrying out heavy airstrikes against Iraqi soldiers, resulting in the death of one Iraqi soldier and injuries to two others.
