This comes from Israel. A military raid on suspected militants in West Bank had to be rolled off after one of the Israeli soldiers updated his Facebook status with a stupid message which went some thing like this

“On Wednesday we clean up Qatanah, and on Thursday, god willing, we come home.”

Reports in Israeli newpapaer Haaretz also suggests that the soldier also leaked the name of the combat unit, the place of the operation and the time of operation. This was discovered by the military when his Facebook friends reported about this to the military authorities. Following this incident the soldier has been court-martialed and sentenced to 10 days in prison. Not only this, Associated Press also reports that now the military has started putting up posters in the campus -

"You think that everyone is your friend?"

In posters placed on military bases, a mock Facebook page shows the images of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Syrian President Bashar Assad and Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah. Below their pictures – and Facebook “friend requests” – reads the slogan: “You think that everyone is your friend?”

Looks like Facebook will be major weapon in upcoming combats! Any comments?
