The Israeli army announced on Friday the resignation of the military advocate general as part of an investigation into the leak of a video documenting abuse of Palestinian detainees.
The video, which became public, caused widespread controversy and led to an internal army investigation. The military advocate general's resignation is a consequence of this incident and pressure from human rights organizations.
"We are taking this incident with the seriousness it deserves and are taking all necessary measures to ensure compliance with the laws of war," the army stated.
The investigation is ongoing, and further personnel decisions are expected regarding officials involved in the incident.
