Overview
- The Israel Police Investigations and Intelligence Division is leading the inquiry with oversight from the State Prosecutor’s Office, and officials say investigative actions are underway.
- Military Advocate General Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi has taken leave pending clarification, as investigators assess potential involvement by personnel in the Military Advocate General’s office.
- Authorities updated the Supreme Court about the investigation after previously telling the court a month ago that no probe was planned because the leak was deemed not to harm state security.
- The leaked footage is linked to the ongoing trial of Force 100 reservists accused of assaulting a Nukhba operative, where the video circulated as purported evidence.
- Ministers and lawmakers sharply criticized the handling of the affair, and officials and reports say external actors used the video as propaganda that damaged Israel’s standing.
