Overview
- Former military prosecutors Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi and Matan Solomosh were detained overnight and are due in a Tel Aviv court for a remand hearing, according to Israeli media and police.
- Tomer-Yerushalmi resigned on Friday after acknowledging she forwarded the footage to counter what she described as false propaganda against the military justice authority.
- The surveillance video from the Sde Teiman facility reportedly shows Israeli reservists assaulting a detainee; parts of the scene are obscured by shields, and some alleged details remain contested.
- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the video’s publication possibly the worst blow to Israel’s image since statehood and urged an independent investigation.
- Five reservists were previously charged in connection with the incident, as rights groups, including Amnesty International, continue to accuse Sde Teiman of detainee abuse.
