The U.S. military is said to be considering dismantling the humanitarian pier off the coast of Gaza for the second time in weeks due to rough sea conditions in the eastern Mediterranean.
Just days after aid delivery operations resumed, concerns about heavy seas potentially damaging the rebuilt $230 million pier have led military officials to consider its temporary dismantling, CBS News reported Thursday.
Multiple Pentagon officials have reportedly indicated that the pier, known as Joint Logistics Over the Shore (JLOTS), will be relocated back to Israel’s Ashdod port sometime on Friday to wait out the weather. This would mark the second time in weeks that the fragile pier and causeway has been dismantled.
