Reports say the U.S. has supported Israel's rescue of hostages and Hamas leadership pursuit since the outbreak of the war between Israel and Palestinian militant Hamas.
According to the New York Times, U.S. special forces and intelligence personnel are on this mission through a collaboration called the Convergence Center.
Shortly after Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel on October 7 last year, dozens of U.S. Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) troops were dispatched to Israel to participate in hostage rescue operations.
In addition, CIA agents helped Israeli special forces locate hostages.
U.S. intelligence has also contributed to tracking Hamas leadership, with a particular focus on locating Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar.President
Joe Biden says he has ordered cooperation with Israel to track down Sinwar and Hamas leaders.
In addition, U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drones were responsible for tracking the locations of hostages, monitoring signs of life, and providing the Israeli military with the necessary information.
Eventually, Israeli forces were able to kill Sinwar in southern Gaza with U.S. intelligence support.
