The Pentagon revoked former Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall’s eligibility for access to classified information, accusing him of “unauthorized disclosure of classified information regarding Air Force One’s capabilities” to a news outlet, it announced Friday evening.

Pentagon chief spokesperson Sean Parnell said the Defense Department (DOD) also yanked Kendall’s “ability to hold any sensitive position,” he wrote in an X post.

“Safeguarding classified information is a non-negotiable duty,” Parnell added. “Those who violate that trust forfeit the privilege of access and any role requiring it.” 

Kendall did not immediately respond to The Hill’s request for comment. 

Kendall, a trained lawyer and engineer, served as the Air Force secretary from 2021 to 2025 during the Biden administration and spent decades in national security roles prior. He is currently a senior fellow at the left-leaning Center for American progress.

A medical transport plane crash that killed four people in New Mexico this spring has been linked to a U.S. military GPS jamming exercise, a preliminary report released by the National Transportation Safety Board shows.

The medevac plane, operated by Generation Jets, crashed about 12:15 a.m. MT on May 14 near Lincoln in the southeastern part of the state, the NTSB wrote in its report released Aug. 5.

The aircraft, a Beechcraft King Air 90, was traveling from Roswell to Sierra Blanca Regional Airport near Ruidoso, New Mexico, when it crashed, NTSB investigators said. The plane and air crew were both based at Roswell Air Center (ROW), the report said, and the two passengers on board were flight nurses employed by Trans Aero Medical Services.

Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth said the U.S. military will begin testing the testosterone levels of troops 30 and older, telling service members the new screening measure is another way to "optimize your performance" on the battlefield.

Hegseth, who as a Cabinet secretary has embraced masculinity and what he calls "warrior ethos," said he's authorized a new screening program for testosterone deficiency.

"It's well-established since that, as we age, testosterone levels naturally drop," Hegseth said in a short video announcing the plan. "Under the supervision of our world-class medical professionals, war fighters age 30 and older are going to be tested annually as part of their periodic health assessments."

U.S. troops younger than 30 can choose to have their testosterone checked during their annual assessments, the secretary added.

A Middle East Eye investigation can reveal details of properties advertised in occupied Palestinian territory, including illegal Israeli settlements, at the Great Israeli Real Estate Event on Sunday.

This comes after London Mayor Sadiq Khan said on Friday he had discussed the event with the Metropolitan Police, and that he had been "informed that any allegations of criminality relating to the potentially unlawful sale of property at the event would be assessed by the Met with a view to investigation".

MEE revealed details last week of companies set to participate in the event which had extensive links to illegal Israeli settlements.

On Sunday MEE saw numerous photos from the event, which was held at the Edgware United Synagogue. 

The company Jerusalem Real Estate (JRE) advertised projects in French Hill and Ramat Eshkol, illegal settlements in occupied East Jerusalem, in a brochure at the event.

The Pentagon has raised Israel’s counterintelligence threat level to its highest category, amid growing alarm that Washington’s supposed closest Middle East ally is intensifying efforts to spy on senior US officials.

The warning, reported by NBC News and The New York Times on Saturday, exposes behind the scenes tensions in a relationship Washington often treats as untouchable.

The Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency recently issued the new assessment as tensions grow between the Trump administration and Israel over the Israeli-US war on Iran.

US officials told NBC that the DIA posted an internal message raising Israel’s threat level to “critical”.

The designation signals alarm inside the Pentagon that Israel is working to monitor top US officials and obtain information about internal Trump administration deliberations on wars across the Middle East.

The New York Times reported that US intelligence has focused on Israeli efforts to eavesdrop on senior officials, including Steve Witkoff, Trump’s top negotiator, Elbridge A Colby, the Pentagon’s top policy official, and Michael P DiMino IV, one of Colby’s main deputies.
