Iraqi farmer killed to hide evidence of two Israeli bases: Report The presence of two secret Israeli bases in Iraq may have led to the death of a shepherd who discovered them, according to an investigation by The New York Times (NYT).

The site was reportedly used to support air operations and housed special forces units.
