Good morning and happy Easter. The UScrew member who was missing in southwestern Iran after his F-15 fighter jet was shot down has been rescued.
The successful extraction was announced by President Trump overnight on True Social.
The president simply said, "We got him." before providing new details that dozens of US military aircraft were used to retrieve him as US leadership tracked his location.
It was a daring operation that included hundreds of US forces racing against the clock to rescue the crew member.
Fox News has learned that after the fighter jet was shot down on Friday.
The weapon systems officer hiked to an elevated mountain ridge where he hid and waited for retrieval.
The pilot of the jet was rescued by US special forces on Friday,
but President Trump said they waited to confirm as to not jeopardize this second operation.
The president added, quote, "This is the first time in military memory that two US pilots have been rescued separately deep in enemy territory."
The IDF said they avoided striking this area as American planes and helicopters flew at a low altitude, hoping to find any sign of the service member.
Israeli forces, however, ramped up air strikes over the weekend in other areas targeting Iran's prochemical plants.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu added this about the operation.
I promised you that we would continue to crush the terrorist regime in Thran.
And that is exactly what we are doing after
we destroyed 70% of their steel production capacity, which serves as raw material for their weapons.
Today, we struck the prochemical plants.
While Israel went on the offensive, they also took numerous incoming ballistic missiles over the weekend.
Despite mostly hitting civilian targets in Israel, Iran has threatened to ramp up
attacks with newer, more advanced missiles.
They're also threatening to shoot down additional US planes.
