A government watchdog group is demanding answers as to why an uncensored photo featuring a group of likely American special operators deployed in Israel was posted to the White House’s official Instagram account, potentially compromising their identities.

“This is just the latest incident where a government official appears to be working at cross purposes with the United States’ avowed support of its ally Israel against the terrorist group Hamas,” nonpartisan group Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT) said in a complaint filed on Tuesday with the Justice Department.
