Overview
- Maj.-Gen. Yifat Tomer‑Yerushalmi submitted her resignation to Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir after acknowledging she authorized the August 2024 release.
- The Military Police Criminal Investigation Division is probing the leak, including potential involvement of staff in the Military Advocate General’s Office.
- Defense Minister Israel Katz said he dismissed Tomer‑Yerushalmi following her admission, while she said she acted to counter what she called false propaganda against military law enforcement.
- The leaked footage shows soldiers surrounding a blindfolded Palestinian detainee with riot shields and assaulting him; medical reports cited by Israeli media describe severe injuries requiring surgery.
- At least nine soldiers were detained in the case, five were later indicted for severe abuse rather than rape, the trial continues, and UN findings and rights groups allege wider abuses at Sde Teiman.
