TWO MONTHS BEFORE Hamas attacked Israel, the Pentagon awarded a multimillion-dollar contract to build U.S. troop facilities for a secret base it maintains deep within Israel’s Negev desert, just 20 miles from Gaza. Code-named “Site 512,” the longstanding U.S. base is a radar facility that monitors the skies for missile attacks on Israel.
On October 7, however, when thousands of Hamas rockets were launched, Site 512 saw nothing — because it is focused on Iran, more than 700 miles away.
The U.S. Army is quietly moving ahead with construction at Site 512, a classified base perched atop Mt. Har Qeren in the Negev, to include what government records describe as a “life support facility”: military speak for barracks-like structures for personnel.
Though President Joe Biden and the White House insist that there are no plans to send U.S. troops to Israel amid its war on Hamas, a secret U.S. military presence in Israel already exists. And the government contracts and budget documents show it is evidently growing.

Already boots and intel on the ground, all eyes on Iran.
MOSAD and American Intel both had no knowledge of the October 7th attacks?
I find this hard to fathom.

I am not insinuating. I retire from work at Midnight and spend hours listening to various news channels coverage of the conflict. I have heard multiple reports of American Soldiers specifically special-ops being sighted at various locations inside Israel. From no nonsense news reporters that are ex military.
I may do some further research and compile a thread when I finish work. The US military are all over the place, parked up how much hardware in the gulf, and I bet small intel outposts on the border or in neighbouring countries.

Hamas held up the last ceasefire, Israel broke it. Do you need a link to fresh up your knowledge of history? Just ask!

Quick and dirty analysis/conjecture:
The referenced construction is not a new processing facility, but rather a deep borehole for the purpose of "live fire" testing of an Iranian-developed nuclear weapon.
Hamas is said to have been planning and training its attack on Israel for up to 2 years prior to the October 07 massacre; some of that training to have occurred in Iran.
It is possible that the increased pressure placed upon the Iranian regime as a result of, or, perhaps, in conjunction with, awareness of the planned attack lead to re-doubled efforts to bring an Iranian nuke to fruition:
An Iranian "Manhattan Project".
Perhaps we are about to experience the result of those desperate efforts.
If that is the case, and the Iranian test is successful....
The whole Game changes.

Please justify your false claim or retract it.
The world watched as Palestine broke the ceasefire on Oct. 7
President Mohammed Mursi said he would not leave Gaza on its own and condemned Israel's "blatant aggression", hours after his prime minister visited Gaza.
Israel mounted a huge attack overnight, targeting dozens of locations. Later, Gaza militants targeted Tel Aviv with a missile but there were no casualties.
