Five days after her arrest, a judge has instructed that former military advocate general Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi be released to house arrest for a period of 10 days. Tomer-Yerushalmi is barred from contacting anyone involved in the case for 55 days.

Tomer-Yerushalmi is suspected of fraud and breach of trust, abuse of her office, obstruction of justice, and unlawful disclosure of material over her role in the leak of a video to the media that purported to show IDF soldiers severely abusing a Gazan detainee at the Sde Teiman facility last year.
