Former IDF military advocate general Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, who was released to house arrest last week after being detained over the Sde Teiman video leak, was hospitalized on Sunday morning after medics were called to her home over what was later confirmed to have been a suicide attempt.

On Sunday night, Police Commissioner Danny Levy confirmed that Tomer-Yerushalmi had been hospitalized following an attempt to end her own life. "Her life isn’t rosy,” he said of the disgraced prosecutor, after a protester was detained outside of her home.

The police chief also addressed the allegations against Tomer-Yerushalmi, saying that “if she committed the offense, this affects how the army looks, how soldiers behave. We send our kids to an organization where they should be sure that nobody is leaking things, and that’s why we’re probing it,” he added.

    Wish she had pulled a Snowden and dropped the receipts on the way out the country. But what nation would take in the object of an Israeli manhunt? We’ve already seen that Israel can get away with most literally anything. Few nations so much as verbally chastise them. Anywhere outside the Arab world this woman runs to would turn her over, and I’m guessing the Arabs wouldn’t be too welcoming of an IDF Major General.

    What I want to know is what she’s so afraid of that death seems the better option. Is it guilt over betraying the army, fear of what they’ll do to her, what exactly? As with Epstein, I suspect someone whispered in her that she should take the easy option. As with Epstein’s guards purposefully ignoring him, Israel let her go home after she left suicide notes before capture. It’s a setup is what I’m saying.
