The Jerusalem Post reported that Yerushalmi’s family informed ambulance teams that she felt unwell. The newspaper added that paramedics found her “in a semi-conscious state” and provided her with first aid at her home before transferring her to the hospital.
One news site quoted a hospital spokesperson as saying that Yerushalmi is “conscious,” but did not clarify whether the incident was related to a suicide attempt.
This comes after reports circulated in Israel about a previous suicide attempt attributed to Yerushalmi, which is believed to have stemmed from an attempt to destroy her mobile phone related to ongoing investigations into the “leaked Sde Teiman video” case.
It should be noted that Tomer Yerushalmi recently resigned from her position and is currently under investigation on charges including fraud, breach of trust, abuse of office, obstruction of justice, and leaking confidential materials.
Last Friday, the military court decided to release her and place her under house arrest for ten days.
Her resignation letter stated that she takes responsibility for publishing the leaked video, declaring that she wanted to “confront the false propaganda directed against the military law enforcement authorities.”
The investigations are currently focused on the leaking of a video from the “Sde Teiman” detention center in southern Israel, showing an assault on a Palestinian detainee, which caused a great shock in Israeli public opinion.
The police are seeking to determine whether employees of the Military Advocate General’s office were involved in publishing this clip. Five reserve soldiers have already been charged in connection with the incident.
The lawyers of the accused soldiers denied that the detainee had been sexually assaulted and affirmed that their clients “carried out superior orders during the investigation.”
