One US fighter jet crew member reportedly rescued

One of the two crew members aboard a US fighter jet that was downed over Iran has reportedly been rescued, according to US and Israeli media. The individual is reportedly alive.

US broadcaster CBS News reported the development, citing two anonymous US sources.

Israel's public broadcaster Kan cited Western security sources and online outlet Walla quoted an Israeli security source making similar comments about the pilot's fate.

US media reported that President Donald Trump had been briefed on the situation. There has not yet been an official response from the White House or the Department of Defense to requests for comment on the fate of the jet's crew members.

A search-and-rescue operation to find the jet's navigator continues.
