Former military advocate general Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi will remain in detention until at least Friday, rules the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court, after suspicions against her alleged obstruction of justice reportedly strengthened.

Tomer-Yerushalmi appears on Zoom for her remand hearing after being arrested this week on suspicion of trying to obstruct an investigation into the leak of a video showing IDF soldiers purportedly abusing a detainee in Sde Teiman.

Police also arrested former chief military prosecutor Col. Matan Solomosh on suspicion he assisted Tomer-Yerushlami in obstructing the probe, and are seeking to keep him in custody until tomorrow. He arrived in person to the hearing.
