Israel has prepare bunker for its leadership in Jerusalem area

Baku. Azerbaijan. August 5. The Israeli General
Security Service has prepared an underground bunker in the
Jerusalem area for the extended stay of Israeli leadership and for
managing the country from this location, Trend accords, citing
TASS.

The decision to create the underground bunker in the Jerusalem
area was made following the Second Lebanon War in 2007. This
bunker, officially named the National Crisis Management Center, is
protected against missile threats and various types of weapons. Its
location and depth remain classified. It is known that the bunker
can accommodate several hundred people and is equipped with living
quarters, office spaces, meeting halls, and a unified command
center connected to the Israeli Ministry of Defense complex in Tel
Aviv.

The bunker has been brought into operational readiness in light
of the expected attack from the Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah
and Iran.

The Jerusalem-area bunker has not been used in the 10 months
since the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, and the start
of the military operation in the Gaza Strip. The bunker was used
several times for its intended purpose “to manage a series of
actions” during the 50-day Israeli military operation “Protective
Edge” in the Gaza Strip in July-August 2014. Since then, it has
been used several times for meetings of the country’s security
cabinet.
