The Pentagon has elevated its counterintelligence alert concerning Israel to the highest level, according to several US media reports.
NBC News reported that the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) recently designated Israel as a "critical" counterintelligence concern amid increasing tensions between the two allies over the war with Iran.
The move reportedly followed concerns that Israel may have sought to gather intelligence on senior US officials in an effort to gain insight into the Trump administration's internal discussions and decision-making on conflicts in the Middle East.
