# Former Israeli military top lawyer, major general Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, has been arrested. This is after she admitted to leaking footage last year of soldiers allegedly attacking a Palestinian detainee, and then lying about her actions in court. Five reservists were subsequently charged with aggravated abuse and causing serious bodily harm to the detainee. Tomer-Yerushalmi has been arrested on suspicion of fraud and breach of trust, abuse of office, obstruction of justice, and disclosure of official information by a public servant.
