Israeli army nixes raid after Facebook leak?

5 March 2010 / REUTERS, JERUSALEM
The Israeli military called off a raid in Palestinian territory after a soldier posted details, including the time and place, on social networking Web site Facebook, Israel’s Army Radio reported on Wednesday.
The soldier -- since relieved of combat duty -- described in a status update how his unit planned a “clean-up” arrest raid in a West Bank area, the radio station said. Facebook friends then reported him to military authorities. The Israeli military spokesman’s office had no immediate comment. Israel says raids in the West Bank are aimed at detaining “militants” suspected of planning attacks on Israelis. Palestinian officials say the incursions undermine efforts by the Western-backed Palestinian Authority to enforce law and order in the territory.
