WHITE HOUSE SHARES, THEN DELETES, PHOTO OF BIDEN WITH US SPECIAL FORCES IN ISRAEL

US Special Forces' identities compromised in social media blunder

The White House unintentionally revealed the identities of US Special Forces operatives in Israel, by posting a photograph on Instagram with their faces unobscured. The photograph was taken during President Biden's visit to Israel and showed him shaking hands with the troops.
The photograph, which suggested the presence of Delta Force operatives, potentially put the safety and mission of these troops at risk, violating Pentagon policies that ordinarily blur faces for operational security.
The post was up for approximately an hour and had received thousands of views before it was removed. The White House expressed regret and publicly apologized for the mishap.
These Special Forces personnel are involved in providing planning and intelligence support to Israel, especially concerning hostage recovery, following Hamas' terror attack against the country.
The incident has drawn criticism and concern over the administration's handling of sensitive military information. This incident is noted as similar to a 2018 event when a video was shared during President Trump's administration that jeopardized the safety of Navy Seals.
