Israel Rocked by Scandal
A political scandal has erupted in Israel over allegations of severe abuses of Palestinians.
A military official, Maj. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, who had leaked a video, was briefly missing on Sunday and is now being held in prison.
Background
Until last week, Maj. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi was the Israeli army's top lawyer.
The video shows part of an assault in which Israeli soldiers are accused of sexually abusing a Palestinian detainee.
The leak of the surveillance video led to Tomer-Yerushalmi's abrupt resignation and a brief disappearance, which ended with her being found on a Tel Aviv beach and taken into custody.
