(IsraelNN.com) According to the intelligence community in Israel, Hizbullah terrorists are becoming increasingly computer savvy, using Facebook to learn more about IDF soldiers, potential targets for kidnappings.

Yeshiva World News reported that IDF intelligence officials are concerned that soldiers may unwittingly give the enemy information through social networking sites or even arrange to meet an internet companion who is in fact a terrorist.

Old news - even older than the more-than-three-month old article linked. I first saw it begin to recycle through the e-mail lists a couple of days ago. If anyone is surprised that any threat organization uses open social-networking sites to gather information on their enemies, then shame on them. The only thing that is really newsworthy is the number of people who honestly find this to be an eye-opener and are shocked by the revelation.
