Top Israeli army lawyer is behind bars over leak of prison surveillance video

A political scandal has erupted in Israel over a leaked video at the center of an investigation into allegations of severe abuses of Palestinians at a notorious military prison. A top military official, Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, admitted to authorizing the leak, sparking outrage and accusations of betrayal. On Sunday, she disappeared briefly, leaving a cryptic note and an abandoned vehicle. She was found hours later on a Tel Aviv beach. Some right-wing politicians and commentators have accused her of staging a suicide attempt in an effort to destroy potential evidence. The scandal highlights deep divisions in Israeli society and concerns over incitement and personal attacks.
