Report: Senior IDF officer lost highly classified documents in a Ramat Gan parking lot

A senior IDF officer lost highly classified military documents in a Ramat Gan parking lot, the Ynet news site reports.

The documents were found by a passerby who handed them into the building security officer, who in turn informed the police and the IDF.

A military source confirms the incident to Ynet, saying that the IDF had investigated the incident and found that a reserve Brigadier General had accidentally dropped the documents while getting out of his vehicle.

The source says that further compounding the seriousness of the incident, the documents should not have been removed from the base.

The report does not say if any action was taken against the officer.
