The four IDF soldiers who were arrested for leaking documents through the Prime Minister’s Office all serve in an intelligence unit tasked with preventing leaks, according to Hebrew-language media.
The same unit initially was tasked with investigating the leaks to foreign media, reports Haaretz, but the investigation was later transferred to the Shin Bet.
The outlet reports that one of the soldiers was released yesterday and a junior officer was arrested today.
