U.S. ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee on Monday said that the Israel Defense Forces and the Mossad were “helpful partners” in the rescue mission of the American colonel from deep Iranian territory.

The diplomat tweeted that he had just met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and thanked Israel on behalf of the American people for its “unprecedented assistance” to U.S. military and intelligence agencies to conduct the rescue of the U.S. air crew.

U.S. special forces carried out a “brilliant” operation, he added.

Netanyahu earlier in the day shared that he had spoken with U.S. President Donald Trump and was “deeply proud” that Israel could “contribute to saving a brave American warrior.”

He tweeted, “The President expressed his appreciation for Israel’s help,” adding that the Israeli-U.S. “cooperation on and off the battlefield is unprecedented.”
