[Herald Economy=Reporter Lee Won-yul] Israel\u2019s Defense Minister Katz said on the 5th (local time) that the rescue of U.S. pilots was the result of close cooperation between U.S. and Israeli military authorities.<\/p>\n

Katz made the remark following a battlefield assessment with Israel\u2019s senior military leadership, calling the operation \u201cfurther proof of how closely Israel and the United States can coordinate even in the most complex moments.\u201d<\/p>\n

He did not disclose what specific role Israel played in rescuing the U.S. fighter pilots who were shot down over Iranian airspace.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Times of Israel reported that Israeli defense officials said Israeli intelligence assets provided decisive assistance during the search-and-rescue operation.<\/p>\n

Officials added that the Israeli Air Force temporarily postponed planned strikes near the operation area while U.S. forces conducted their search, indirectly supporting the U.S. rescue effort.<\/p>\n

U.S. forces deployed Navy SEALs from their most elite unit, along with hundreds of special operations troops. They recovered the missing F-15 pilot \u2014 who survived in hostile territory for more than 24 hours armed with only a pistol \u2014 within two days.<\/p>\n

Before the recovery, U.S. and Iranian forces engaged in a fierce race to locate him.<\/p>\n

Reports say the officer ejected from the fighter and hid in a rocky crevice in the mountains. Both U.S. and Iranian forces initially failed to pinpoint his location. The CIA later found his hiding place and passed the information to the U.S. Department of Defense, enabling a full-scale rescue operation.<\/p>\n

The Navy SEAL unit known as \u201cTeam 6,\u201d which reportedly led the operation\u2019s core effort, is the SEALs\u2019 most elite team and was the unit that carried out the successful 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
