Media, Pentagon high alert level for Israeli espionage against US
The Pentagon has raised the counterintelligence threat level attributed to Israel to the highest level due to the Jewish state's intensified espionage activities against the US. This was reported to Nbc by two US officials and a former US official. The Pentagon's Defense intelligence agency published its new counterintelligence threat assessment in recent weeks amid growing tensions between Israel and the United States over the way forward in the war with Iran, the officials said, explaining that Dia published an internal message, viewed by one of the current officials, that raised the threat level for Israel to 'critical'. The choice stems from concerns within the Pentagon that Israel is making a special effort to surveil senior US officials in order to obtain information on the Trump administration's internal deliberations and decision-making process regarding conflicts in the Middle East, the officials said.
