SOAR.

This is coolbert:

SOAR = Special Operations Aviation Regiment. USA.

Routine training mission the Mediterranean vicinity the Levant during a time of crisis my intuition tells me much more than a routine training mission.

1. "5 US Army Special Ops soldiers killed in crash off Cyprus"

"'My prayers are with the patriots we have lost,' the defense secretary [Austin] said."

From https://abcnews.go.com  | article by Luis Martinez and Matt Seyler | November 13, 2023.

"Five American service members were killed in a crash late Friday after their helicopter had a 'mishap' during a training exercise and went into the eastern Mediterranean Sea, the military said Sunday."

2. "Secret mission of the 'Night Stalkers' in Gaza? MH-60 Black Hawk crash with five special forces men off Cyprus - Turks: 'It was shot down'"

From https://warnews247-gr.translate.goog | 13/11/2023.

"The Turks are talking about a demonstration - Were they looking for hostels in Gaza?"

Cyprus not a member of NATO. Think rather the British SBA of Akrotiri and Dhekelia officially the Sovereign Base Areas (SBA). SOAR operating classified missions in furtherance of American interests the Gaza War and using British military facilities to do so?
