The military said that it immediately fixed the error, which occurred after the IDF's Home Front Command uploaded a map of coronavirus testing facilities across the country.
The map, however, also included military sites, as well as previously secret military intelligence and air force bases.
The map was created in cooperation with the Health Ministry and was made widely available to the public until Haaretz said it alerted the IDF to the error.
Such information would normally be barred by the IDF Censor for publication as it exposes sensitive information that could ultimately undermine Israel's overall national security.
The IDF has been working in close cooperation with the Health Ministry and other civilian bodies to set up testing and vaccination sites as it fights against the coronavirus pandemic.
