Memo to Israeli women: If you claim to be religious to avoid army service, don't update your Facebook status on Shabbat. And don't post photos of yourself in immodest clothing.
The Israel Defense Forces is using the social networking site to help catch draft-dodging women and reportedly has nabbed 1,000.
Military investigators looking for women who lied about being religious to evade mandatory army service have found young ladies posting photos of themselves in immodest clothing, dining in non-kosher restaurants and responding to invitations to parties taking place on Friday night.
Some 42 percent of Jewish women in Israel do not serve in the army -- 35 percent of them signed a declaration that they are religiously observant. The army has 60 days to challenge the declaration, according to The Jerusalem Post.
Israeli men at 18 and finished with high school are required to serve three years in the Israeli military; women are required to serve two years.
