An Israeli Defense Force (IDF) soldier posted a video indicating that the Gaza pier is sinking. The bridge appeared to be bobbing up and down, and submerging. The IDF soldier said, “This is what happens when you help the enemy.” The sinking pier adds meaning to the term “sinking costs”.\u00a0 According to Senator Roger Wicker, costs related to the pier “exploded”, the efforts were dangerous, and the pier offered marginal benefits.<\/p>\n

Video posted on social media by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) on Monday showed the American pier “sinking in the water,” The Jewish Press reported, although it is unclear how much of the structure, which was bobbing up and down, was under water. The soldier who shot the video is overheard saying: “This is what happens when you help the enemy,” the outlet said.<\/p>\n

Columnist and author Caroline Glick posted on X an image of the pier with the message: “The Biden pier in Gaza is sinking into the sea….($320m sinking along with it…)”<\/p>\n

It is unclear whether the images were linked to an incident on Saturday in which four American vessels connected to the floating pier disconnected from the jetty due to stormy seas. U.S. Central Command, CENTCOM, said the vessels had broken free from their moorings, leading them to get stuck on the coast.<\/p>\n

One ship was stuck on a beach at the southern end of Ashdod, while another sent to extract it also got beached. The two other vessels were washed up on a beach near the pier, according to CENTCOM, which added the Israeli Navy helped with their recovery and that no one had been injured in the incidents.<\/p>\n

But other problems have beset the pier, with Sabrina Singh, deputy Pentagon press secretary, saying last month that bad sea and weather conditions had delayed the delivery of the components for the construction.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Vice Admiral Brad Cooper, the deputy commander of United States Central Command, told reporters last week that deliveries from the pier to warehouses inside Gaza had been initially hindered by a Hamas drone attack on the IDF and some aid trucks were looted en route, CNN reported.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
