Israel’s secret military base in the Iraqi desert! Big revelation came out amid Iran war

During the ongoing conflict against Iran, Israel had converted the desolate desert area of ​​western Iraq into its secret military front. The secret base built in this remote area became the center of Israeli special forces, rescue teams and logistics operations, from where the military operations being conducted inside Iran were being supported.

However, this secret operation reached the verge of being exposed within a few days. According to a report, a local shepherd reported suspicious helicopter activities in the area, after which Iraqi soldiers started arriving there to investigate. Meanwhile, Israel allegedly carried out an airstrike to stop Iraqi soldiers.

Special forces and rescue teams were deployed at the secret base

In the report, quoting people associated with the operation, including American officials, it was said that Israeli special forces and rescue teams were deployed at this secret base. Their purpose was to deal with situations when planes of Israeli pilots are shot down during missions inside Iran.

Israeli officials feared that their aircrews could be trapped behind enemy lines during attacks being conducted nearly 1,000 miles from home. Such a situation arose in the initial phase of the conflict when an American F-15 plane crashed near Isfahan.

According to the report, Israel had offered help in rescuing two American airmen, although later American forces themselves took over the rescue operation. Despite this, Israel carried out air strikes to make the rescue operation safe.

Secret revealed by information from shepherd

The secret base began to be revealed when a local shepherd noticed unusual military activities in the desert. According to Iraqi government media, the helicopters were flying very low and hovering over the same area repeatedly.

After this, Iraqi soldiers arrived in Humvee vehicles to investigate, but as soon as the morning came, heavy firing started on them. One Iraqi soldier was killed in this attack while two others were injured. “This irresponsible operation was carried out without coordination or approval,” Lieutenant General Kais al-Muhammadawai told Iraqi state media.

Iraq accused America, it was revealed later

After this incident, there was huge anger in Baghdad. Iraq filed a complaint with the United Nations, initially blaming foreign forces and raising doubts on America. However, it later emerged that the US Army was not involved in the attack on Iraqi soldiers, rather the action was taken by Israel.

Israeli Air Force Chief had given indications

During the conflict, Israeli officials did not publicly provide much information about these secret missions. In early March, Tomer Bar, the then chief of the Israeli Air Force, had praised the role of special units. These days, fighter planes of special units of the Air Force are carrying out such special missions that can arouse the imagination, he wrote in his farewell message.

Increased search and investigation in the desert

After this incident, many speculations intensified in the Iraqi and Arab media. Questions began to arise as to who was running the secret operation in this desolate desert area. After this the Iraqi administration deployed additional counter terrorism service units in the area. During the investigation, indications were found that highly trained military forces were active there recently.

“It appears that there was a certain force on the ground before the attack, which was supported by air, and which was operating beyond the capabilities of our units,” Muhammadawi was quoted as saying by The Wall Street Journal.

The area has been the center of military operations in the past too

The vast desert area of ​​western Iraq has long been used for military operations. During the campaign against Saddam Hussein in 1991 and again in 2003, the American Special Forces used this area as an operation base.
