Israeli police have launched a search for former military prosecutor Yifat Tomer Yerushalmi, who has gone missing after admitting that she was the source of a leaked video that showed Israeli troops raping a Palestinian abductee at Israel’s Sde Teiman torture camp. Yerushalmi resigned her post yesterday after her admission.
Yerushalmi: missing
According to Israeli paper Yedioth Ahronoth, Yerushalmi has been missing for several hours and police found her abandoned car at a Tel Aviv beach early this morning. Israeli media report that she had left a letter inside the car and some have reported that she also left a suicide note at her home.
A senior police source told Haaretz there are serious concerns for her life – but the disappearance also raises the possibility that the Israeli regime wanted a clean end to the situation that prevented her being able to testify at the trial that was likely to follow her admission.
Yerushalmi’s disappearance came just a few hours after Israel’s wanted war criminal PM Benjamin Netanyahu described her leak as “the most dangerous propaganda attack in Israel’s history.”

The update says she’s been found safe, I wonder if she managed to escape a hit squad that had planted suicide notes.
