The White House confirmed that it had accidentally revealed the identities of several U.S. special forces members for the sake of posting a photograph on Instagram with President Joe Biden.
“As soon as this was brought to our attention, we immediately deleted the photo," read a statement from the White House. "We regret the error and any issues this may have caused.”
The photograph was posted Thursday as Biden visited Israel while the country conducted a military operation to root out terrorist Hamas forces in the Gaza Strip.
