Didn't it get smashed up a few weeks ago?

It's literally in the article:

...the U.S. announced on May 28 that it had suspended operations so repairs could be made.

The United Nations said on Friday it had still not resumed transportation of aid from the pier to U.N. World Food Programme warehouses.

Bold of you to assume I read the article.

I mean, I did, but clearly that bit didn't stick....

Fixed it for a little while so they could use it as as military outpost for the hostage rescue-massacare. Bonus war crime points for hiding IDF soldiers in aid trucks for the ambushes.

It should be noted that the evidence there is that a helicopter involved in the raid took off from a beach near the pier. So slim to none. And it doesn't even make sense, how would the pier be useful for a military operation?
