Facebook is not the place to post classified information about cross-boarder raids if you’re in Israel’s military. Using his cell phone, a soldier recently wrote on his Facebook page about his unit’s plans to slip into Palestinian territory, and mentioned what day the attack on the West Bank village was planned. "On Wednesday we clean up Qatanah, and on Thursday, God willing, we come home," he wrote. He also included the name of his unit. Actually, there does not appear to be a village in the West Bank named Qatanah. However there is a refugee camp called Qalandia.

 
After learning of the leak, Brigadier-General Nitzan Alon, commander of the Israel Defense Forces’ Judea and Samaria Division, called off the raid and rescheduled it for a few days later. As for the soldier, he was court-martialed and sentenced to 10 days in prison.
