In recent weeks, work has been carried out to prepare to receive the floating pier and to organize the space for receiving humanitarian aid in Gaza. It began with a joint workshop with the Americans which formed the planning basis to begin the work. Work was then carried out by the Engineering and Construction Directorate in the Ministry of Defense; led by the IDF Southern Command of the IDF, the engineering array, COGAT; accompanied by logistical coverage of the Technological and Logistics Directorate; and in cooperation with the US Army.

The area of the project covers about 67 acres which are allocated for the operation and the passage of large amounts of goods to the field.

In addition, a remote-controlled hydraulic gate system is being built, allowing for operational and logistical flexibility. Extensive electrical work is being done to support the facility and to accommodate the arrival of aid, both by land and by sea.

The floating pier, through which the humanitarian aid will be transferred, is being built by the Americans and will be connected to the shore.

While in maritime space, the Naval Branch will secure the forces in the humanitarian aid mission, from the stage of the arrival of the naval SDF until the end of the operation.
