Last update - 00:52 12/04/2008 IDF soldiers ordered not to reveal too much on Facebook By Reuters Tags: Facebook, IDF, Israel  Defense officials say they've identified an unlikely new threat to Israel's national security - the popular social networking Website Facebook. A new list of rules aims to prevent Israel Defense Forces soldiers and Defense Ministry employees from revealing classified information on social networking sites. The officials say some soldiers have uploaded pictures of themselves with classified equipment and inadvertently revealed sensitive information. Advertisement The guidelines released Thursday allow soldiers to create pages on networking sites as long as they don't identify themselves as soldiers or reveal any information about what they do. The officials say defense authorities continue to surf the Net to make sure there are no further security breaches. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the rules have not yet been officially published.
