Former military advocate general Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi has been arrested by the police, officials say.
Additionally, police detained the military’s former chief prosecutor, Col. Matan Solomosh.
Media reports say both are suspected of obstruction of justice over the leak of the Sde Teiman abuse video and an alleged subsequent cover-up with false reports given to officials regarding an internal investigation into the leak. Police say that the pair, who are suspected of “leaking and other serious criminal offenses,” will be brought tomorrow before the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court for an extension of their remand.
On Friday, Tomer-Yerushalmi resigned over her involvement in the Sde Teiman abuse video leak, which is being investigated by police. Today she went missing for several hours after reportedly leaving a concerning note for her family, sparking fears for her wellbeing and a massive search effort, before being found alive and well.
Solomosh recently completed his tenure as chief military prosecutor.
