Pentagon raised threat of Israeli spying on U.S. to highest level, sources say

The Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency has raised Israel's counterintelligence threat level to "critical," citing concerns that Israel is intensifying espionage efforts against U.S. officials to gather information on the Trump administration's Middle East strategy. The heightened alert reflects escalating tensions between the U.S. and Israel over approaches to the Iran conflict and operations in Lebanon, with officials worried Israel is conducting surveillance beyond typical allied intelligence gathering. Israel's government denies the allegations, while the White House has dismissed the report as false.
