Something to keep in mind….

Beirut - A new report in the Middle East confirms Hezbollah has begun using the online social network Facebook to learn more about Israel’s military bases and soldiers, who are potential kidnapping targets.
According to Israeli Yeshiva World News, leaders in Israel’s Defense Forces have launched a new awareness program to warn soldiers about what information they reveal on the Internet. The soldiers are cautioned about including their branch of service, any unit details or virtually any information about some of the more classified units in the air force and intelligence.
The report also said that according to Israeli intelligence officials ” Facebook is a major resource for terrorists, seeking to gather information on soldiers and IDF units and the fear is soldiers might even unknowingly arrange to meet an Internet companion who in reality is a terrorist.”
The report said one soldier who serves in an intelligence unit was sentenced for 19 days in a military brig because he posted on Facebook a photograph of the base at which he is assigned.
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.

what an error of their army heads ; they should lectured their soldiers for “discretion”.

September 8th, 2008 at 4:32 pmFrenchie it doesn’t matter how often you cram OPSEC down someone’s throat because of the nature of the game people don’t see OPSEC successes so they think all the “loose lips” talk is a load of crap until something happens.
The counter intel guys can’t exactly broadcast their successes to everyone and despite what a lot of people believe there is a lot of human intelligence gathering going on by the badguys.
And that’s as an American I can’t even imagine the games the anti-Israeli types are playing or how sick and tired their guys are of having OPSEC crammed down their throat.
They stick ads like these on the AFN channels and then rerun them infinitely.

After a while it’s hard to take seriously.
