The White House has mistakenly deciphered the identities of elite US soldiers working to find and rescue hostages held by Hamas.

Axar.az reports that this was shared on the White House's Instagram account.

Thus, the page shared the image of the moment Biden shook the hand of a soldier from the army's anti-terrorist unit. In that photo, the faces of three other soldiers from the "Delta Force" special forces of the United States were also clearly visible.

The spokesman of the White House admitted to the "Post" newspaper that the photo in question remained on the page for about an hour. He said that as soon as he became aware of the issue, the photo was immediately deleted from the page.
