Overview
- An Israeli court extended Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer‑Yerushalmi’s detention until Wednesday on suspicions including fraud, breach of trust, obstruction of justice and abuse of office.
- She resigned after admitting she authorized releasing Sde Teiman surveillance footage, saying she acted to demonstrate the gravity of the alleged abuse under investigation.
- After briefly disappearing, she was found alive on a Tel Aviv beach, and investigators are scrutinizing a missing phone and potential misleading of authorities, according to police statements and Israeli media.
- Israeli outlets report former chief military prosecutor Col. Matan Solomesh was also detained in the leak inquiry, and police say five suspects are under investigation.
- The leaked video concerns alleged assault of a Palestinian detainee; five reservists have been charged, and the detainee’s release to Gaza in a recent exchange complicates prosecution.
