In a high-profile case that has shocked the Israeli public, former Israel Defense Forces legal chief Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi is at the center of the investigation. She is accused of leaking a video showing Israeli soldiers mistreating a Palestinian prisoner. The video, shot in Sde Teiman prison, sparked outrage and led to intense debate about the treatment of prisoners.
After being released from house arrest last week, Tomer-Yerushalmi has now been admitted to hospital. Police are concerned she may try to obstruct the investigation and plan to enforce the conditions of her house arrest at the hospital. In addition, her passport should be confiscated to prevent her from fleeing the country.
The investigation against Tomer-Yerushalmi includes allegations of fraud, breach of trust, abuse of office and obstruction of justice. Police suspect she tried to destroy evidence by dumping her cell phone in the sea. This was eventually found and could contain crucial information about the leak.
The release of the video led to widespread public discussion about conditions in Israeli prisons and the responsibilities of high-ranking officers. Tomer-Yerushalmi said she leaked the video to draw attention to the grievances and increase public pressure. The future of the soldiers involved in the abuses remains uncertain as the abused prisoner returned to Gaza as part of a prisoner exchange.
