Former military advocate general Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi will remain under arrest until noon Wednesday, rules the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court.

She and former chief military prosecutor Col. Matan Solomosh were arrested last night on suspicion of trying obstruct an investigation into the leak of footage purportedly showing the abuse of a Palestinian prisoner at the Sde Teiman detention camp last year.

The court is now deliberating on whether to extend the remand of Solomosh.
