Ex-IDF Legal Chief Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi rushed to hospital after overdose scare during house arrest
Rescue forces were called to the home of former IDF Military Advocate General Maj.-Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi by her family on Sunday morning, after she had taken sleeping pills.
Magen David Adom paramedics who arrived at the scene provided her with medical treatment while she was conscious, and then evacuated her to Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv. Her life is not in danger.
Last Friday, the court released the former military prosecutor to 10 days of house arrest.
The judges allowed her to leave her home, subject to prior notice, for meetings with her lawyers, under a bail guaranteed by her brother. As part of the release conditions, Tomer-Yerushalmi was prohibited from contacting other individuals involved in the case for 55 days.
At the same time as her release to house arrest on Friday, a civilian woman found a mobile phone on Tel Aviv’s Tzuk Beach. The device was found in the same area where Tomer-Yerushalmi had been located the previous week, after she went missing for several hours and rescue teams launched a search for her amid her involvement in the Sde Teiman Base case and the leaked video.
A police source confirmed with Kan News that the phone that was found on the beach indeed belonged to Tomer-Yerushalmi.
Noa, the civilian who found the phone in the water at Tzuk Beach, said she noticed it on the seabed while swimming, about 200 meters from shore.
According to Noa, she dove two meters down to the bottom, picked it up, and swam back to shore. Upon leaving the water, she pressed the button and reportedly saw a picture of the former chief military prosecutor with another young woman.
