Maj Gen Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi was facing an investigation into how the video at a detention facility holding detainees from Gaza was leaked last year.

Israel’s top military prosecutor has resigned after admitting to leaking a video showing soldiers assaulting a Palestinian detainee.

The statement comes soon after Israel confirmed the killing of four Hezbollah members, further straining the fragile ceasefire agreement.View on euronews

The Israeli military attacked the Gaza Strip for a fourth day on Friday, killing three people, Palestinian health authorities said, in another test of a fragile ceasefire agreement.

An official of the Israel Defense Forces told NBC News that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for strikes in retaliation for a Hamas attack in Rafah.

An Israeli security official said the transfer of aid into the territory is halted "until further notice," the first major test of the ceasefire.

The chief legal officer of Israel’s military resigned after authorizing the leak of a video in the case involving grave abuse of a Palestinian detainee. That further politicized a fraught case.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the Israeli military to immediately carry out "powerful strikes" in the Gaza strip, hours after Israeli officials said the remains of a hostage returned by Hamas were body parts of another hostage Israel recovered in Gaza nearly two years ago.
