TIROSH Nuclear storage: Tirosh is one of two nuclear weapons storage facilities, according to various sources, is located near the town of Tirosh. Location: Clearly visible from space, the facility appears as a network of roads linking bunkers spaced about 25 yards apart. There are about 70 bunkers. The facility, also off Israel's Route 38, is heavily guarded and surrounded by a perimeter road and security fences. At the junction of Route 38 and the entrance road into the facility, there is a sign warning drivers they are approaching a security zone where access is not permitted. There appears to be one security checkpoint on the entrance road. It is very close to both the Tel Nof Air Base and the Hirbat Zekhrayah missile field [see below]. It is possible that Tirosh is the strategic weapons storage site, while Eilabun is the tactical weapons storage site. |
