but the HC-130 primary purpose is search and rescue so the idea that they would be involved here is not unusual. The fact there were so many of them there is probably evidence of something more than a one-pilot pick up but the fact they were involved is definitely not unusual.

The absolute lack of any information in the media other than what the administration provides makes it very hard to determine anything with clarity.

This morning satanyahu is sticking his neb in, apparently "making it clear" that the apartheid state participated in the "rescue". Make of that what you will.
