Former chief military prosecutor Col. Matan Solomosh will be released from custody tonight at 10 p.m., the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court rules.

The judge reportedly says that there is no difference between him and other suspects in the Sde Teiman leak investigation who were released under restrictive conditions.

Solomosh was arrested earlier this week on suspicion of helping former military advocate general Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi conceal her role in leaking surveillance footage appearing to show soldiers abusing a Gazan detainee at the Sde Teiman detention facility.
