A member of the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) has been jailed for 19 days after
posting a picture of himself on Facebook without permission.
Reports in the Jerusalem Post claim that the soldier came from the
elite 8200 military intelligence unit of the IDF, which specialises in
encryption and military information.
He was jailed for taking a photo inside the base, something the IDF is
cracking down on.
According to the paper the IDF now has a unit which trawls through Facebook
and other social networking sites to find pictures that should not have been
posted.
These include pictures of weapons systems, the interior of bases or any staff
positions.
"Regulations stipulate that it is not permissible to film or take pictures
inside any IDF facility or during an IDF operation unless the photographer has
express permission," an IDF spokesman told the paper.
"The IDF is working to raise awareness among soldiers and reservists about
operational and security dangers that maybe caused by classified information
carelessly uploaded to the internet.
"The IDF is taking a broad response to the problem, which includes education,
monitoring and disciplinary enforcement."
The Israeli Air Force recently banned all serving members from posting
personal images on Facebook and it seems that the IDF is planning similar moves.
