Israel Helps Defend U.S. Forces
(Israel Hayom) Ariel Kahana - Some of the missions carried out by the Israeli Air Force in Iran are intended to assist U.S. forces in the region. A knowledgeable source said the decision on which of the two militaries will carry out a given mission is made according to which has the relative advantage in completing it successfully, rather than which side views the target as more important or which side is more directly threatened by it. That means there are cases in which U.S. pilots are sent to hunt missile launchers aimed at Israel. At the same time, Israeli pilots are assigned missions to strike missile launchers aimed at U.S. bases and assets in the region. In addition, there are cases in which Israeli intelligence directs U.S. pilots to strike targets, as well as others in which U.S. intelligence guides Israeli pilots.
