A report by The Wall Street Journal has revealed what is alleged to be a secret Israeli military base deep inside the Iraqi desert — just 400 kilometers from the Iranian border.

Satellite images reportedly show a runway, commando activity, and preparations for rescue missions involving pilots under fire. The revelations are sparking outrage in Israel over the apparent security breach.

The report also sheds light on the depth of U.S.-Israel military cooperation and covert operations connected to “Operation Roaring Lion.”
