Israelis did the same with Iraq, they setup a base in the Iraqi desert that was active during the war. The Iraqi govt learned of it very late but seems the US always knew about it.Israel really used its so-called allies as puppets and cannon fodder in the war.
"The secret deployment to Azerbaijan, reported by CNN for the first time, was one of several military positions Israel maintained across the Middle East that gave its military unprecedented reach, highlighting the role Iran’s neighbors played — some with permission, some likely without — in facilitating operations against Tehran and becoming entangled in the conflict."
It should be a moment of shame for Azeris, if Israelis setup a covert base in their country without their knowledge or permission. It shows they used your country as a tissue paper for their war.
It is also quite possible that regional govts knew about these bases from the beginning and chose to simply look away. That is probably the case with Azerbaijan.
Postwar I would not be surprised to learn of additional Israeli bases in Jordan, Syria, Turkey or Saudi Arabia that were active during the war. One indicator is how many of their govt ministers met AIPAC in Washington.
