Times of Israel: Israeli, US special forces practice ship takeovers amid high tensions in Gulf
IDF says last week’s Noble Rose exercise not held in direct response to recent incidents around Strait of Hormuz
Israeli and American naval special forces completed a large-scale exercise in the Mediterranean Sea last week simulating the takeover of a merchant ship carrying illegal weapons and contraband, as Iran and a US-led coalition square off on shipping routes in the nearby Persian Gulf.
The Israeli military said the exercise, Noble Rose 2019, was not in direct response to these tensions.
Israel’s elite naval commando unit, known in Hebrew as Shayetet 13, participated in the drill alongside US Special Forces. An Israel Defense Forces spokesperson refused to comment on the precise number of troops that took part in the exercise, but said it was “larger than what we’ve done before.”

WNU Editor: Its rare to see Israeli Special Forces on video. Even rarer to see them training with U.S. Special Forces.

Be interesting if the Israelis seized Grace 1 on the USA's behalf. That would either kick the top off the ant hill or give the same result as a boy shying rocks at a hornet's nest.
U. S seals need to sieze it along with a Marshall to serve the warrant. Call Irans bluff once and for all, don't be surprised if it happens.
master and slave working together.
