Overview
- Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara ordered a criminal probe into the Sde Teiman leak, which is being run by the Israel Police Investigations and Intelligence Division with assistance from the State Prosecutor’s Office.
- Maj.-Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, who had been placed on leave, acknowledged authorizing the release of materials to the media and submitted her resignation, which IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir accepted.
- Defense Minister Israel Katz said she would not return to her post and signaled further sanctions, while the IDF moves to install an acting Military Advocate General and begin selecting a permanent replacement.
- Media reports say investigators hold materials indicating involvement by senior MAG Corps officers and raise allegations of misleading court filings and an internal cover-up; some outlets attribute key leads to Shin Bet chief David Zini, which officials declined to comment on.
- The leaked 2024 security video, broadcast by N12, showed apparent abuse of a Gazan detainee and led to charges against five reservists, fueling protests and sharpening political and reputational fallout that observers say will now intensify.
