U.S. Begins Building Israeli Base
May 17, 2001

Israeli and American officials have broken ground for a $266 million Israeli military base that is being built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and paid for by the United States under an agreement signed in 1998. The new base, in the southern Negev region, is replacing an Israeli Army training site in the West Bank. Martin Indyk, the American ambassador to Israel, called the project a symbol "of America's continuing commitment to Israel's security."
