Police are requesting to remand former military advocate general Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi and former chief military prosecutor Col. Matan Solomosh for another three days, after they were arrested this week on suspicion of obstructing a probe into the Sde Teiman leak.
Solomosh shows up to the hearing at the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court, but the judge granted Tomer-Yerushalmi’s request to attend via Zoom “due to her situation,” a possible reference to her mental state.
Tomer-Yerushalmi, who resigned from her post and admitted to leaking a video of soldiers appearing to abuse a Gazan detainee at the Sde Teiman detention facility, was arrested after going missing for hours on the Tel Aviv coast Sunday, leading law enforcement to speculate that she had taken her own life.
When she was found that evening, police were unable to locate her phone, and began to suspect that she staged the incident to dispose of evidence. Solomosh was detained for questioning that same evening.
As was the case during Monday’s remand hearing, filming is forbidden in the courtroom, at the behest of the suspects’ attorneys.
