Police probing ‘criminal incidents’ related to start of war

A court has allowed the publication of the fact that the police are probing “criminal incidents” related to the start of the war.

“The police’s Lahav 433 investigation unit is conducting a criminal probe related to incidents from the start of the war, including several open investigations,” the statement says, adding that further details are under a gag order.

Lahav 433 investigates serious crimes including public corruption.

The Ynet news site says the news is related to reports earlier in the year that Prime Minister Netanyahu had been attempting to keep his conversations regarding the management of the war in Gaza untraceable.

Ynet reported at the time that senior figures in the security establishment feared that efforts were being made to edit the minutes of wartime discussions held with Netanyahu after discovering discrepancies between transcripts of the meetings and what the figures had heard in real time.
