Though as

Among the details the president shared was the city in Syria where the ally picked up information about the plot, though Mr. Trump is not believed to have disclosed that the intelligence came from a Middle Eastern ally or precisely how it was gathered.

Telling Russia, a country that's also fighting ISIS, that information isn't likely to get people killed.
But the media happily disclosing to ISIS (and the rest of the world) that this was an Israeli operation with an Israeli spy that's compromised a laptop bomb program in a ISIS held Syrian city could get people killed.
