🇺🇸🇮🇱 Trump threatened to jail whoever leaked the missing pilot story. Turns out it was Netanyahu's favorite journalist. Amit Segal, one of Israel's most influential political commentators and a journalist so close to Netanyahu that the PM reportedly offered him a cabinet position, just confirmed on Telegram that he broke the story about the second missing airman. Trump blamed the leak for tipping off Iran, which then offered bounties for the pilot's capture: "The person that did the story will go to jail" So now what? The leak didn't come from American media. It came from inside Israel's political-media ecosystem, from a journalist with direct proximity to the Prime Minister's office. That raises an obvious question about where Segal got his information and why it was released during the most sensitive rescue operation of the war. When pressed by the New York Post, Segal backpedaled, saying he's "not sure" he was first and pivoted to "I will protect my sources." Will Trump follow through on his threat against an Israeli journalist connected to the government he's fighting alongside? Or does this quietly disappear? The answer will tell you a lot about how this alliance actually works. Source: Newsweek, Telegram





Details about the rescue op for the U.S. Weapon Systems Officer, via a U.S. military official: "The mountain top area on the left is where the WSO was hiding (he ejected 5ish miles northwest of there). The right area is the makeshift landing strip where they landed 2 C-130s and had 4 MH-6 Little Birds. "One Little Bird flew to that mountain top area and rescued the WSO and brought him back to the landing strip. And of course the two C-130s' nose gears got stuck in the dirt. So after a few hours they had to bring in three AFSOC Dash-8s to fly out the rescued WSO and the 100 or so personnel involved in the op." 1/2
