The United States Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) has increased the counterintelligence threat level for Israel to 'critical.' This decision follows reports that Israeli intelligence has increased its spying activities against senior U.S. government officials.

美國國防情報局 (DIA) 已將以色列的反情報威脅級別提高至「關鍵」。此決定是在收到報告指以色列情報部門增加了對美國政府高層官員的監視活動後做出的。

The DIA based this change on the belief that Israel's ability to collect human and technical intelligence has reached a dangerous level. Specifically, the agency noted an increase in the surveillance of high-ranking officials, such as Chief Negotiator Steve Witkoff and Pentagon leaders. The goal is to discover the internal plans of the Trump administration. For example, unauthorized spying software was recently found on the mobile phones of U.S. defense staff working in Israel.

DIA 做出此調整是基於認為以色列蒐集人力與技術情報的能力已達到危險程度。具體而言，該局注意到對高層官員（如首席談判代表 Steve Witkoff 及五角大廈領導者）的監視有所增加。其目標是探知川普政府的內部計劃。例如，最近在以色列工作的美國國防人員手機中發現了未經授權的間諜軟體。

These tensions are happening because the two countries disagree on how to handle the conflict with Iran. While the U.S. government is trying to use diplomacy to reach a ceasefire, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government is skeptical that Iran will cooperate and wants to continue military operations. This disagreement was highlighted by a recent phone call between the two leaders, which President Trump described as argumentative.

這些緊張局勢源於兩國在如何處理與伊朗的衝突上存在分歧。美國政府正嘗試透過外交手段達成停火，但總理納坦雅胡的政府懷疑伊朗是否會合作，並希望繼續軍事行動。兩位領導人最近的一次通話凸顯了這一分歧，川普總統將該次通話描述為充滿爭論。

In the past, the U.S. and Israel have generally accepted that both sides gather some intelligence on each other. However, current officials emphasize that the current level of Israeli activity is higher than what is normally allowed. Despite these problems, the two countries still share important tactical intelligence. Nevertheless, the Pentagon has introduced stricter security rules for staff traveling to the region to protect secret information.

過去，美國與以色列通常接受雙方會互相蒐集部分情報。然而，現任官員強調，目前以色列的活動程度已高於通常允許的範圍。儘管存在這些問題，兩國仍共享重要的戰術情報。即便如此，五角大廈已為前往該地區的人員引入更嚴格的安全規定，以保護秘密資訊。

The U.S. and Israel continue to have a complicated security partnership, where they cooperate on military operations while remaining very cautious about spying.

美國與以色列繼續維持著複雜的安全夥伴關係，在軍事行動上合作的同時，對間諜活動保持高度警覺。
