Take Tel Nof Airbase, for instance. A US-funded project there—referred to in documents as “Site 20136”, involves major upgrades to prepare for Israel’s new CH-53K military helicopters. This means building new hangars, expanding runways and setting up advanced maintenance areas. Another project, called “Tama 38/58,” is focused on overhauling Israeli army facilities used to repair tanks and other armoured vehicles. Although it shares its name with Israeli urban planning codes, this US-funded “Tama” project has nothing to do with civilian infrastructure, it’s purely military. And that’s just the beginning. Other US-backed initiatives include constructing new piers for the Israeli Navy, building underground bunkers, expanding weapons storage, and even renovating housing for US personnel stationed at Israeli bases. One massive site known as “Site 911” is an underground command centre, built with millions in American taxpayer money. Another, “Site 81,” is a secret facility beneath a building in central Tel Aviv. Together, these projects paint a clear picture: the US isn’t just supporting Israel with weapons—it’s physically building the infrastructure of Israel’s military power, on Israeli soil, with American money.
