Israeli authorities have extended the detention of Military Advocate General Yifat Tomer-Yerushalm and retired Colonel Matan Solomesh, the army’s former chief military prosecutor, the Israeli Broadcasting Authority has said. The two were arrested earlier this week as part of an inquiry into the leak of a video showing Israeli soldiers assaulting a Palestinian detainee at the Sde Teiman military prison in southern Israel. Tomer-Yerushalmi resigned on Friday amid the uproar over who leaked the video.
