Three U.S. soldiers sustain injuries while working on the newly completed Gaza pier, marking the first such incident involving U.S. service members bringing humanitarian assistance to the area. The Pentagon reports that one of the soldiers' injuries was serious enough to necessitate a medical evacuation to Israel.
The soldiers were involved in non-combat-related incidents at sea while participating in the humanitarian mission. The pier, completed by the U.S. military earlier this month, is a critical infrastructure project designed to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid. . .
