How the arrest of the military's top lawyer over a leaked abuse video has rocked Israel
NBC News ^ | Nov. 4, 2025 | Matt Bradley, Michael Fiorentino

For several hours, Israel held its collective breath: The military’s top lawyer had disappeared two days after she resigned amid a legal inquiry into her role in exposing an explosive prisoner abuse scandal.

The former military advocate general, Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, sparked a frantic police search amid fears for her well-being in a case that consumed the country while striking at the heart of deep divisions over the U.S. ally’s conduct in its war in Gaza.

Although she was found safe hours later, she was subsequently arrested Sunday for her role in the leak of a video showing alleged sexual abuse in a notorious Israeli prison...

Tomer-Yerushalmi was detained after she acknowledged in her resignation letter Friday that she had approved the leak of a video that showed Israeli soldiers allegedly abusing a Palestinian detainee last year at a military prison in order “to counter the false propaganda directed against the military law enforcement authorities.”

Tomer-Yerushalmi likely violated the law and is now in serious legal jeopardy, said Tal Steiner, the executive director of the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel...But, she said, the case has nevertheless forced Israelis to examine and question their military’s actions and exposed the populist sentiments leading the charge against unelected government officials.

“This whole story is very sad and ironic because it’s a shoot-the-messenger type situation,” Steiner told NBC News on Monday. “Perhaps this is why they are shooting the messenger right, now because it holds a mirror to Israeli society. It’s not fun to look at.”

Defense Minister Israel Katz also accused Tomer-Yerushalmi of spreading “blood libels” against troops.

“We can resume the lynch,” right-wing TV personality Yinon Magal posted on X with a winking-face emoji.

You have to speak to Palestinians in their own language. They don’t understand anything else. We know how the Palestinians treat captured Israeli soldiers...and Jews in general.

The Military Advocate General, her deputy, and the Attorney General conspired to undermine the elected government and IDF combat troops in order to bring down Netanyahu. All three are instantly recognizable to Americans as bitter AWFLs.

This is the exact type of operation that American Deep State is using to take down Trump. Leftist media will cover and lie to the bitter end.

Accusations against President Trump were utterly false and indeed cooked up by the Deep State...

But unfortunately I fear you may be the type that even *if* Trump or any conservative leader *were* to something wrong, you’d protect the tribe over the truth. Not good. No human is worthy of that level of blind allegiance. And that is a cornerstone conservative value.

DO not leave out the DEI recent hire some called 'holy father'... I married into a 'catholic' family ... the level of splicing and excusing behaviors is quite extraordinary...

Nice to see who you literally are ... ignore the pig in your square and poke that accusing finger ... Have your fraudulent Charities give back billions taken to traffic sheep and call it holy ...

Jesus first. Over any institution. Everything human is subject to sin and corruption.

Will give it a listen. I mean I would HOPE it weren’t true…as I’m sure many Israelis are as well. But saying it’s doctored would be quite the stretch…And rather extreme sacrifice of self and livelihood on the part of the lawyer to share it.

Jesus said 'call no man 'father' ' .. One must, need know, which 'Jesus'... the first one on the scene is the fake... Christ said all but the elect will be deceived. Moses penned 'their' rock is not our ROCK...

I’m confused. So you suggesting that:

Because the Israeli Government is spiritually and morally superior to the Catholic Church, that they don’t need to be held to account for any wrongdoings. Okay...

About 35 minutes in, it is noted that the scam was broken open because the the AG sought a promotion for an underling that required a lie detector test that the underling failed because of her participation in a bold WhatsApp group that was plotting against the government.

A bizarre plot that could be from a novel, movie or an Italian opera. It’s as bold and stupid as James Comey, et al.

NO.... In your accusation you included President Trump as being exempt of being held account for his misdeeds. YOU need to learn the Parable of the Fig tree... Christ commanded HIS followers to learn in Matthew 24:32..

Now the so called 'holy fathers' decided to made the FIG grove where the Garden Party took place, an 'apple orchard', ignoring the command of Christ!!!!!

Presently, NONE out of the Israeli Government are going to teach what the Parable of the FIG tree means ... Seriously? They have another Jesus, and THEY call you and me GOY.

Not all Catholics act like a monolith...Even on FR, the most Catholic freepers are NOT happy with recent direction of the Vatican.

BUT things have been worse...in the past 2,000 years...

IF Christ is 'first' then one must follow HIS WORDS ... HE said all but the very elect would be deceived.... That means one must know what the deception is... The fake Jesus shows up first and all but the very elect will bend a knee ...

WHO tempted Christ? Does anyone really believe Christ needed to be tempted by the devil, who was right there in the Garden of Eden???? Genesis 3:15 The Heavenly Father gave this to Moses ... Moses was NOT a first hand witness ...

Hebrews 2:14 ... 14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

It is mighty curious how the many ignore BJClinton's many years relationship with that pervert Epstein ... and nothing ... However, other than the man Trump are not saying Get behind me Satan, over the accusations that President Trump took part of the pervert Epstien's satanic offerings...

I expect these that call me a GOY to be held accountable for the pervert Epstein... and the fig tree.

Remember alllll the hands that protected the Kenyan Muslim, Catholic and Jews ... OBAMA ...

Re-reading it. I apologize for how pointed and presumptuous the tone of the comment was.
