U.S. Military's Gaza Pier Efforts Stalled

U.S. military's attempt to secure the temporary Gaza pier faced setbacks due to technical and weather issues. Pentagon stated no U.S. personnel entered Gaza during the operation. The pier was always meant to be a temporary measure and will soon cease operations.

U.S. military personnel made an effort to re-anchor the temporary Gaza pier to the beach on Wednesday but were thwarted by technical and weather-related obstacles, the Pentagon announced on Thursday.

Pentagon Spokesperson Pat Ryder clarified that at no point did U.S. personnel enter Gaza. He added that the pier was always intended as a provisional solution and will soon discontinue its operations.
