The IDF’s Military Advocate General, Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, was arrested on Sunday, after admitting last week to her involvement in leaking a video from a controversial Israeli detention center.
The Military Advocate General is the top internal investigator within the IDF, responsible for investigating misconduct, advising on rules of engagement, and ensuring that the army operates in accordance with Israeli and international law. In essence, the office functions as the military’s internal watchdog, maintaining accountability and ethical standards within the ranks.
Tomer-Yerushalmi’s arrest is just the latest chapter in a months-long controversy surrounding Sde Teiman, a detention center in southern Israel where many Gazans were held during the war. Reports and leaked footage from the site have sparked intense public debate over the treatment of detainees and the military’s oversight of the facility.

On Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the leak of the video from Sde Teiman “perhaps the most severe public relations attack the State of Israel has experienced since its establishment.” He stressed that the video “caused immense damage to the image of the State of Israel and to our soldiers.” Other Israelis argued that separate issues, such as controversial statements made by Israeli politicians and activists, received more attention internationally, including in international courts.
