That’s what all the news reports are calling rough seas. Barely looks like it’s decent surfing
(Politico) The transfer of aid from four U.S. Army vessels through the newly completed Gaza pier was disrupted by rough seas Saturday morning, the latest hiccup in a bumpy rollout of the pier’s operation.
According to the U.S. Central Command, the vessels “broke free from their moorings” during bad weather, with two vessels beaching farther north along the Israeli coast near the city of Ashkelon and another two anchoring on the beach closer to the pier. CENTCOM added that the Israel Defense Forces were assisting in the recovery efforts and that no U.S. personnel would enter the Gaza Strip.
All the video makes it looks like they were choppy seas. Maybe the US Navy should have been in charge of the vessels? But, of course, with all the gender confused, DEI, and other wackadoodle stuff going on in the Army and Navy, should we be surprised that at least one ship was beached? Will the commander be relieved for this breach of duty?
Meanwhile
(NY Post) Three US service members were injured, one critically, while working on the Army’s Gaza aid pier on Thursday.
Two service members suffered a sprained ankle and a minor back injury.
“Two were very minor, routine injuries. Those individuals returned to duty,” Cooper said.
A third service member, who was injured on a ship at sea, was medically evacuated to a hospital in Israel, he said.
That person is in critical condition. No mention anywhere of how they were injured. All to supply aid which is mostly stolen by Hamas, which is meant for Islamists who hate Americans.
