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.

Yerushalmi, announced her resignation from the Israel Defense Forces on Friday, over her involvement in the leaking of a surveillance video from the Sde Teiman detention facility, which purported to show soldiers severely abusing a Palestinian detainee last year.

Zohran Mamdani on Tuesday responded to a widely shared 2023 clip in which he suggested that the New York Police Department and Israeli army were linked in oppression, the latest example of the Democratic mayoral nominee facing questions about his past record of anti-police and anti-Israel statements.

Hamas has said the return of the remaining bodies "may take some time" due to the destruction wrought in Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday instructed the country's military to "carry out powerful strikes in Gaza," a statement from his office said, in response to alleged ceasefire violations by Hamas.

Hamas militants killed two Israeli soldiers in Rafah, violating the U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement before Israel responded with strikes and restored the truce.

Israel received the remains two deceased hostages held in Gaza on Thursday afternoon. The remains were transferred to Israel via the Red Cross and taken to the country’s national forensics laboratory for identification.

A clip circulating online shows ultra-Orthodox men, on their way to a mass demonstration against conscription to the military, passing soldiers at the Yitzhak Navon train station in Jerusalem. The footage is taken by Yehonatan Cohen, an Israel Defense Forces reservist who finished a round of duty today.
