A document obtained by Haaretz details a series of incidents that have been kept confidential. Defense officials are content that the information has been kept secret for so long and that the leak of a few details on social media hasn't caused a fuss. The officials clearly appreciate reporters' responsibility and restraint on the issue - they haven't exploited the right of freedom of information.
