Replying a question at a press briefing about the routine contacts between the US and Israeli defense chiefs, she said, "We are aware that, you know, Israel, or the (Israel Defense Forces) IDF, is conducting some type of operations there." "We're trying to get a better understanding of what they're doing. But to my knowledge, we were not notified beforehand," Singh added.
