The article reports a follow-up to the U.S. rescue mission in Iran, with Netanyahu saying Trump thanked Israel for intelligence support and coordination. It suggests close U.S.-Israel cooperation and that Israel paused some planned strikes to avoid interfering with the operation, but it does not describe new kinetic action itself.
Summary
Netanyahu says Trump thanked Israel for help in US rescue mission
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he spoke with US President Donald Trump, congratulating him on what he called a “perfectly executed American mission” to rescue an air force personnel in Iran.
“The President expressed his appreciation for Israel’s help,” Netanyahu said, adding that cooperation between the two countries is “unprecedented.”
CNN reported that Israel provided intelligence support and delayed some planned strikes on Iran to avoid disrupting the rescue operation.
The remarks follow what the US described as a successful recovery of an American crew member after a fighter jet was downed over Iran.
