From all available reports, when Trump burned that intelligence asset, he didn't know where the information came from. It would be surprising if he had mentioned Israel. When you're blabbing secrets without knowing whose secret it is, it's hard to out the source. I'm confident, though, that the Russians had a pretty good idea where the information came from shortly after Trump betrayed it.
