The US Department of Defense has raised its internal counterintelligence threat level regarding Israel to the highest category due to a notable increase in espionage activities aimed at American federal systems. This escalation reflects growing concerns within the US national security community about surveillance operations allegedly linked to Israel. While the US and Israel maintain a close strategic partnership, the Pentagon has intensified measures to protect federal networks from foreign intelligence threats. Historical documents from 2007 have indicated Israel's active role in targeting US interests, and current assessments identify the defense and financial sectors as primary targets for espionage efforts. These sectors are deemed attractive due to their potential access to sensitive military technology and economic information. As a result, the Pentagon is expected to implement stricter security protocols across federal agencies, enhancing cybersecurity measures and controlling access to classified information, thereby prioritizing the protection of critical national security data while continuing to collaborate with allies.
