Error with the use of verb PROVIDE here?

The text below was posted by the US authorities amid the war in the Middle East some days ago.


I'd like to focus on the underlined words. Shouldn't the sentence read "...by providing you WITH the latest information..."? I thought the structure was provide someone with something.
