Shin Bet official held for leaking secret info is released to house arrest

Shin Bet official “Aleph,” who was detained for leaking classified information as part of a newly publicized national security probe, is released to house arrest for a week under supervision, Hebrew media reports.

After the Justice Ministry’s Department of Internal Police Investigations reportedly agreed to his release, Petah Tikva Magistrate’s Court judge Sharon Danieli writes that the suspicions against him, in the current circumstances, aren’t severe enough to justify his continued arrest.
