Overview
- Police detained Yifat Tomer‑Yerushalmi on suspicion of obstructing the investigation into leaked surveillance footage from the Sde Teiman detention site.
- Israeli media reported that former deputy military prosecutor Matan Solomosh was also taken into custody on similar suspicion.
- In a resignation letter published by Israeli outlets, Tomer‑Yerushalmi acknowledged her office forwarded the video to media to counter what she called false propaganda against the military justice system.
- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the video's publication possibly the worst blow to Israel's image since statehood and announced an independent investigation.
- Five reservists were indicted in February over the incident shown in the footage, with the army citing surveillance and medical records detailing broken ribs, lung injuries and a rectal tear, as rights groups and a 2024 UN commission highlighted broader abuse allegations.
