Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir announced on Monday the detention of the former military advocate general of the army, Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, as part of an investigation into the leak of a video showing soldiers assaulting a Palestinian detainee in a military prison in 2024. The army announced on Friday that Tomer-Yerushalmi had resigned as part of the investigation into the leak, which shows soldiers assaulting a detainee at the Sde Timan prison. Tomer-Yerushalmi was missing for several hours on Sunday, sparking speculation in Israeli media that she might have attempted suicide. Ben-Gvir wrote on Telegram: "In light of last night's events, it has been agreed that the Prison Service will act with heightened vigilance to ensure the safety of the detainee in the detention center."
