Israel’s elite Airborne Combat Rescue And Evacuation Unit 669 evacuated an elderly American woman from a cruise ship in the Mediterranean early Thursday morning.
The 70-year-old woman, who had suffered a heart attack, was flown to Rambam Hospital in Haifa.
According to an Israeli military source, the rescue was carried out at the request of US officials.

Israeli navy simply happened to be the closest! Common courtesy extended by most, if not all, countries under international maritime law!
