DOD, FBI investigating suspected major intelligence leak
SUMMARY
The FBI and Defense Department are investigating a potential intelligence leak concerning classified U.S. documents that appear to detail Israeli military preparations for a retaliatory strike against Iran. The documents, marked "top secret," surfaced on social media and are believed to include analyses from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the National Security Agency (NSA), indicating the movement of Israeli military assets. This investigation follows Israel's vow to retaliate after Iran launched a missile attack on October 1, which struck multiple targets in Israel. The White House has expressed deep concern over the leak, with National Security spokesperson John Kirby emphasizing the seriousness of the situation. It's unclear whether the leak originated from an insider or was the result of a hacking incident. Lawmakers are expected to scrutinize how this breach occurred, particularly in light of leaks this year involving a Massachusetts Air National Guardsman.
