No, it says the pier wasn't used just right next to it...
Video circulating online Saturday shows an IDF helicopter taking off from the beach with the U.S. pier in the backdrop. Two U.S. officials told CBS News that the U.S. pier was not used in the IDF operation. It is offshore to assist delivery of humanitarian aid. A U.S. official explained that the helicopter landed south of the facility on a beach but not within the cordoned area of the pier.
Which is why I said "this area" and not "the pier"
But honestly, it should be pretty clear what I'm talking about about. The article is about the warehouses next to the pier, they're also not actually on the pier. So I don't know how anyone would think "this area" means literally and only on this tiny tiny pier that's been used for civilian aid for like what? 2 weeks total?
It might have been longer but Israel pulled this shit almost as soon as it opened, and I'm sure you're about to tell us how that's a total coincidence....
