## Resource

Israel established a clandestine military outpost in Iraqs western desert to support its airstrikes on Iran, with U.S. officials aware of the operation. The base served as a crucial logistics hub for Israeli forces and rescue teams. Despite a local shepherds sighting, which led to Iraqi troops rolling in, Israeli airstrikes kept them at bay, resulting in Iraqi casualties. Iraq condemned the operation, filing a UN complaint, while Israel remained silent. Security experts note these pop-up bases are common for such missions, and Israeli leaders publicly praised the covert operations during the conflict.
