Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, the former Military Advocate General for the Israel Defense Forces, was arrested and placed under house arrest last weekend. She faces allegations of leaking a video that purportedly shows the sexual assault and gang rape of a Palestinian prisoner at the Sde Teiman Detention Camp.

On the night following her arrest, Tomer-Yerushalmi reportedly attempted to commit suicide by swallowing a bottle of sleeping pills. She has since been transported to a hospital for medical attention.

This incident follows her recent legal troubles related to the alleged video leak, which has drawn significant attention and condemnation. As previously reported, the situation has raised questions about the treatment of prisoners and the conduct of military personnel in Israel.

Further developments in this case are anticipated as authorities continue to investigate the allegations against Tomer-Yerushalmi.
