At approximately 0700 this morning,
Major Jackson's F-16 was hit by an anti-aircraft rocket
while on mission over Syria.
Lieutenant Nadav
is presumed dead and went down with the plane_
Maj0r Jackson ejected.
Have y0u located him?
Yes. Major Jackson's ejector seat beacon is active.
Did he survive?

"Can't confirm"?
He ejected near Mach speed_
That's a lot of G-forces

What can you confirm exactly?
The drone-fed imagery tells us
Major Jackson Was alive
at the time he Was taken captive.
By wh0?
For a targeting Iayen
We don't have a concrete data-point_
BETZ: Where exactly is Major Jackson ?
The GPS on his flight vest
places him in Southern Syria
in the Dara'a Governorate.
It's a GFB stronghold.
IIGFB"?
Golan Freedom Brigade.
It's an lranian-controlled Shiite militia
fighting alongside the Syrian Arab army
and backing Damascus' bid
to take back the Golan Heights_
They are Ied by an extremist
who is know to us only by the name of "Alshabah."
"AIShabah"?
The Ghost.
He's a real beauty, this guy.
(lNDISTINCT SHOUTING)
We can't get a clear picture of him_
His face is covered With his signature tactical shemagh,
GFB head-band and his black-mirrored sunglasses_
The Iegend he cultivates is
if he Iets you see his eyes, you're dead_
His army is small but I0yal, and brutal_
We pinpoint his location, and then we Iose him.
He stays in the shadows, moves in the night.
He has a direct Iine to Assad,
Nasrallah and Rouhani,
and gets financing from all three.
We think he had a hand
in the chemical attacks at Aleppo and Ghouta_
Pay to slay. Yes.
He's 100% committed to aVoiding detection.

Tell me where the fuck he is.
Easy, One-Eight_ I'‖ take care of this.
(ENGINE STARTS)
Your pilot is on his way to South Beirut, l'm afraid.
(SHOUTS lN ARABIC)
Alshabah Will present him to the Security General
who will order his execution.
When did he leave?
Just now.
Hmm, ten minutes ag0.
Last week. Vvhat difference does it make?
You won't catch him.
He's a ghost.
He's spent eight years in this war
and still no one can catch him.
And if we could?
Then you'd take the M5 towards Damascus
until you hit Al-Kiswah.
Alshabah Will avoid Damascus.
He Will take an alternate route.
That turns his three-hour drive
into a seven-hour drive.
That works to our advantage.
Yes.
You're already way behind_
Where is this alternate route?
It's a smuggler's run between Jdeidat Artouz and Darayya,
on the border of Lebanon.
The Heroin HighWay.
How do you knoW this?
The informations are floating around out there.
Easy.
You just have to have to know hoW to sweep it up.
If your plan is to intercept this convoy,
l suggest you acquire more serious Weapons than those M4s.
(SCOFFS)
lcan map the coordinates foryou, if you please_
NETA: Judah One-SiX to North Command.
VVe're Iooking for a convoy that left Al-Hrak around 30 minutes ago_
Our Mossad asset puts our pilot in that convoy.
Go to infrared.
Switching to thermal.
BETZ: Do we have any idea where he is
in that convoy? Which vehicle?
VVe can eliminate pick-up trucks without crew cabs.
Five out of the seven.
YAIRl: This is North Command to Judah One-Six.
NETA: This is Judah One-SiX. Send your traffic. Over_
YAIRl: Continue eastbound 120 clicks
and reroute to the coordinates
that We've sent to your onboard computer_
You're picking up time, and you should be able to
head them off at the designated chokepoint_
NETA: Rogerthat, North Command. Out.
This was Ronan's favorite place_
He came here with his mother.
I've been to lsrael a dozen times over the years.
F0r diplomacy and business.
Never a personal visit.
I've never been here with my son.
NETA: North Command, this is Judah One-Six.
We've reached the chokepoint
Holding for enemy convoy intercept_
YAl Rl: Roger that, One-SiX_
The enemy convoy is approximately ten minutes out
From here until contact We're going silent_
We aren't the only ones Iistening to comms. Over_
NETA: Rogerthat, North Command. Out.
Is it Monday?
All day, Gunny.
Which way is the shit rolling?
Downh i l l, towards that road.
Hell ofa thing we do, huh?
So, hoW do we do this?
HoW many vehicles in the convoy?
North Command says they're rolling With seven.
What's their big gun?
23mm anti-aircraft autocannon.
ZU-23. Fucking S0viets.
It's mounted on a Nissan.
Where's the package?
Exactly which truck he's in, I'm confirming noW.
They don't know?
They've narrowed it doWn
to the third and the fifth technical in the sequence.
The KIA K270O and the Mitsubishi Crew Cab.
He's definitely not in the Iead or the rear.
No.
You sure about that?
It'd be a tactical mistake.
Ithink they're better than that.
Okay, we need to take out the Iead vehicle first.
Next up is the Nissan with the ZU-23.
In the shit-shoW that immediately fo‖oWs,
we'‖ set an assault perimeter
and blast the he‖ out of them.
Johnson, you and Melaku stay With the machine guns
and put some lead into their engine blocks.
We want them crippled.
Razor and Sharhabi, you advance with me.
We find our pilot and collapse back.
How do we get out?
Same way We got in. We drive.
What's our big gun, sir?
The Hermes 450 you got chasing us at 17,000 feet,
is it armed? lt is.
Hellfire missiles, huh?
RAFAEL fire-and-forget anti-tank missiles.
That'‖ d0.
I'm guessing there's a couple on their wing, right?
Good guess.
Okay, yeah. That big enough foryou, Big Time?
Fuck, that's strong.
0f course, it'II put hair on your balls_
Listen, brother, I don't think
