Former military advocate general Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi is being escorted by police and soldiers for a physical check-up, after authorities located her alive on the Tel Aviv coast, following her disappearance this morning.
Tel Aviv District Police Commander Haim Sargarof says the former official will arrive at a police station in the city following her check-up.
Addressing press gathered on the beach, Sargarof says law enforcement this afternoon received a report that Tomer-Yerushalmi had gone missing, prompting fear for her life. Her car was reportedly found abandoned at the Hatzuk Beach near Tel Aviv.
Police arrived at the area and began searches “with boosted forces,” says Sargarof. “Of course, we used all means at our disposal, including on sea and land, as well as technological means.” He takes no questions from reporters.
