The Tel Aviv District Court rejects former military advocate general Gen. Maj. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi’s appeal against her two-day remand.
The former IDF official will remain in detention until at least Wednesday.
Police had earlier requested from the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court that Tomer-Yerushalmi remain behind bars, asserting that she may try to obstruct an ongoing probe into the Sde Teiman leak.
Tomer-Yerushalmi resigned from her post on Friday and confessed to leaking surveillance footage purporting to show IDF soldiers severely abusing a Gazan detainee. She was expected to be summoned for interrogation by police, but disappeared yesterday for hours on the Tel Aviv coast.
When police found her, they were unable to locate her phone, leading law enforcement to suspect that she may have staged a suicide attempt in a bid to hide evidence on the device.
