Israel Established Covert Military Bases in Iraq's Desert
Israeli forces established a temporary outpost in Iraq's Nukhaib desert during the conflict involving the U. S. and Israel against Iran, according to Iraqi and U. S.
officials. Reports later revealed that Israel operated covert military bases in Iraq's western desert to facilitate operations targeting Iran. One of these secret bases was discovered by a local shepherd, whose death was linked to the incident. Investigations confirmed that Israel had set up two secret military bases in the region, which led to fatal incidents involving Iraqi nationals, as reported by The Times of Israel.
