Former military advocate general Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi is being questioned by police investigators two days after her discharge from the hospital, Hebrew outlets report.
The ex-prosecutor and central suspect in the Sde Teiman leak affair spent nearly a month in Tel Aviv’s Sourasky Medical Center after she overdosed on sleeping pills while under house arrest.
Police in the Lahav 433 major crimes unit are keeping details of her interrogation under tight wraps, Ynet reports. Tomer-Yerushalmi’s defense attorney, Dori Klagsbald, tells the outlet that he is not conducting any interviews on the matter.
When police launched their investigation into the leak, Tomer-Yerushalmi resigned from her post and confessed to having leaked surveillance footage of IDF troops purportedly abusing a Gazan detainee at the Sde Teiman detention facility, while the incident was under investigation.
She later went missing off the coast of Tel Aviv and was detained by police after an hours-long search. They suspected she had attempted to dispose of evidence that was on her phone, which had also disappeared that night.
