The building housing the US-Israel ceasefire coordination center sits in the heart of Kiryat Gat’s industrial zone.
Police cars block the roads leading to the massive building, and dozens of police officers and IDF soldiers mill about outside.
Within the gates, uniformed US soldiers, as well as civilians and contractors, move in and out of the building.
British, Canadian, German, Danish, and Jordanian soldiers are also present in the working groups, with their flags standing on low poles inside.
IDF Deputy Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Tamir Yadai, head of the IDF Southern Command, Maj. Gen. Yaniv Asor, and other senior officers are present as well.
