The Israeli army mistakenly publishes the locations of secret bases

The Israeli army has mistakenly published on its website a map with the locations of secret bases throughout Israel.

The error occurred when the Army Internal Front Command uploaded a map of coronavirus testing facilities across the country, including locations at military bases.

The map showed not only COVID-19 testing centers in residential communities across the country, but also, IDF facilities including Israeli Air Force and Military Intelligence bases. The level of detail on the map made it possible not only to identify the location of these military bases, but also their exact boundaries, as well as the names of the military bases.

The Israeli army mistakenly publishes the locations of secret bases

The Israeli army normally does not allow such information to be released for fear that it could be used to gather classified information or to attack its bases during a war.

The military kept the map, which was created in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, available to the public until it was alerted to the error by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

The Israeli Army Spokesman Unit confirmed to Haaretz that this information was published incorrectly and that it was removed from the website. In a statement, she added that the map is from "a civilian website that provides global public services to make maps accessible worldwide and in Israel. The marking of IDF camps and bases was not done by the military, but was copied from the existing map on the website. "
