The Pentagon has elevated the threat level for intelligence activities from Israel to the highest tier on its internal security scale, according to US military sources. This decision comes amid rising tensions between Washington and Tel Aviv over regional security issues.
Information from the Pentagon confirms that this alert increase applies to potential espionage activities by Israel targeting key US military facilities and personnel. The move follows a series of incidents suspected to involve unauthorized intelligence gathering.
Earlier, relations between these close allies had shown significant strain, particularly after the US released evidence linking Israel to espionage activities targeting US administration officials. The highest alert level indicates the Pentagon considers this a serious threat that could directly impact US national security.
US military officials are now boosting security and surveillance measures related to Israeli-linked activities, while directing intelligence agencies to reassess the entire security network. No official comment has been received from Israel regarding this information.
