An Israeli defense official says the head of the American CIA spy agency has made an unannounced visit to Israel.
The official says CIA chief John Brennan met Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon. He did not disclose other details.
The official spoke Friday on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the visit with reporters.
Brennan's trip comes amid Israeli concerns about weapons transfers from Syria to the Lebanon's militant Hezbollah.
