Police Commissioner Danny Levy confirms that the hospitalization this morning of former military advocate general Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi came after she attempted suicide.
“Her life isn’t rosy,” Levy says of the disgraced prosecutor, who recently resigned over her involvement in the leak of a video apparently showing reservists abusing a Gazan detainee at the Sde Teiman military jail. Reports today said Tomer-Yerushalmi swallowed some 20 sleeping pills.
“If she committed the offense, this affects how the army looks, how soldiers behave. We send our kids to an organization where they should be sure that nobody is leaking things, and that’s why we’re probing it,” he adds.
