Major General Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi resigned after the scandal of images depicting abuses against Palestinian prisoners at the Sde Teiman detention center, causing international outrage.

Major General Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, who led the military judicial system of the Israel Defense Forces, announced her resignation following the scandal generated by the emergence of images from the Sde Teiman detention center, where Israeli soldiers assaulted a Palestinian prisoner. The recording sparked outrage both in Israel and internationally, leading to the opening of a criminal investigation.

Tomer-Yerushalmi explained that she allowed the material to be broadcast to counter accusations of cover-up, but the effect was an amplified revolt. Pressure on her increased, especially after comments from the defense minister, who called for her dismissal. The scandal revealed serious abuses, including sexual assaults on prisoners, and the investigation is ongoing, with no official conclusions to date.

Human rights organizations have criticized the detention conditions at Sde Teiman, and the Supreme Court of Israel has called for adherence to humanitarian standards, without ordering the closure of the center.
