Some US officials are dissatisfied with "Israel's" efforts to take more intelligence than the US already shares, as per The Washington Post.
According to the article, the US has given "Israel" drone footage, satellite imaging, communications intercepts, and other types of information in the aftermath of Operation al-Aqsa Flood.
Israeli officials think that the US has not given them any intelligence that they could not have collected independently, as per The Washington Post.
US officials see Israeli calls for improved intelligence as based on a false premise that the US is hiding certain information, despite US intelligence and weapons aiding "Israel" to commit its war crimes against Palestinians, which have killed over 37,266 Palestinians Since October 7 and injured over 85,000.
The Biden administration allegedly confined the use of US-provided information to identifying Israeli captives but some US senators are concerned that "Israel" may utilize the data in airstrikes and other military actions.
In an attempt to bribe the Israeli regime, the Biden administration last month offered to provide "Israel" with "sensitive intelligence" on the whereabouts of senior Hamas leaders, only if it holds off the invasion, which holds more than one million Palestinians sheltering there amid the ongoing Israeli war on Gaza.
Four unnamed sources were quoted by The Washington Post as saying that the United States "is offering Israel valuable assistance if it holds back, including sensitive intelligence to help the Israeli military pinpoint the location of Hamas leaders and find the group's hidden tunnels."
Although the current administration issued NSM-20, a document that represents a global policy allegedly aimed at strengthening safeguards and accountability for arms transfers, there has been no such issue with intelligence.
In April, in an interview for WSJ, Rep. Jason Crow (D., Colo.), a member of the House Intelligence Committee, expressed concern about "making sure our intelligence sharing is consistent with our values and our national-security interests," adding that what the US was sharing with the occupation now was not "advancing our interests."
US forces helped 'Israel' retrieve four captives in Gaza: NYT
Israeli and US sources told The New York Times that the US provided intelligence on the Israeli captives retrieved from Gaza on June 8 killing more than 200 Palestinian civilians in the process.
Israeli occupation forces earlier announced they retrieved four live captives from the Nuseirat refugee camp in the Gaza Strip.
Reportedly, Resistance fighters guarding the captives had clashed with an Israeli force invading the camp, which led to the death of an occupation officer from the Yamam unit.
The Israeli occupation forces launched numerous airstrikes on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, which led to the death of at least 210 Palestinians and injury of 400.
A team of American experts stationed in Israeli-occupied lands supported the Israeli military in retrieving the four captives by giving information and other logistical support, according to one American official, who spoke anonymously to discuss the delicate operation.
A senior Israeli official told the NYT that the US and UK have been in "Israel" throughout the war on Gaza, assisting Israeli intelligence in gathering and analyzing information about the captives, some of whom are citizens of both countries.
Two Israeli official sources cited that US military officers gave the occupation information regarding the captives retrieved on June 8.
