Biden Addresses Israeli Strike Plans Leak Concerns

The leak of two classified U.S. intelligence documents, detailing Israel's military preparations for a retaliatory strike against Iran, has raised significant concerns within the Biden administration. These documents, marked 'top secret' and attributed to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency, appeared on the Telegram messaging app and involve Israel's plans following Iran's massive missile attack on October 1. President Joe Biden is 'deeply concerned' about the unauthorized disclosure, and a thorough investigation is underway to determine if this breach was due to hacking or a deliberate leak. The documents, shared within the 'Five Eyes' intelligence alliance, reportedly contain specifics about Israel’s air force exercises and missile systems like Golden Horizon and Rocks. U.S. officials have discussed the issue with their Israeli counterparts and are actively monitoring the situation to prevent further leaks. The leak is viewed as a serious security breach that underscores the complexity of international intelligence sharing and its vulnerabilities.
