Former military advocate general Gen. Maj. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi is appealing her two-day remand after a judge earlier today ordered she remain in detention, Hebrew outlets report.
Police brought her and former IDF chief prosecutor Col. Matan Solomosh to the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court at noon with a request to extend the detention of both suspects, claiming they may try to obstruct an ongoing probe into the Sde Teiman leak.
Tomer-Yerushalmi is attempting to appeal the ruling based on an apparent technical error of the judge, who extended her remand due to a supposed danger she poses to the public, rather than her liability to obstruct the police investigation.
She is requesting to hold the appeal hearing by Zoom call this evening in the Tel Aviv District Court.
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 staged a suicide attempt in a bid to hide evidence on the device.
