Overview
- Police took former IDF legal adviser Yifat Tomer‑Yerushalmi into custody days after her resignation and public admission that she authorized the video’s disclosure.
- Ex‑chief military prosecutor Col. Matan Solomosh was also arrested, and a Tel Aviv court ordered both to remain held until Wednesday on suspicions tied to illegal disclosure and possible obstruction.
- The Military Prosecution confirmed the Gazan detainee seen in the footage was deported on October 13, 2025 and is no longer in Israeli custody, limiting access to a key witness.
- Five reservists remain charged with aggravated abuse and causing serious bodily harm over the incident; they deny wrongdoing, and some appeared masked at a press event as allies pushed to drop the case.
- The leaked video broadcast in 2024 showed soldiers shielding the scene as the detainee was sodomized, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the leak as a severe propaganda attack while urging an independent inquiry.
