Israeli Intel Officer Reportedly Dies Under Mysterious Circumstances, Gag Order Issued on Case

The identity of the officer, the contents of the indictment filed against him and even the nature of his alleged transgressions were reportedly “barred from publication”.

An unnamed Israeli military intelligence officer who was indicted on charges that were not disclosed to the public, passed away in a hospital after being found in a serious condition at military detention facility last month, Haaretz reports.

According to the newspaper, the military tribunal revealed in a statement that an indictment was filed with the military court in September 2020 against an officer of the Israel Defence Forces Military Intelligence Corps; “the officer was arrested following a decision by the military court and the legal process on the matter had not been decided.”

During the night between 16 and 17 May, the statement says, the officer was “found at a military detention facility in the centre of the country in serious medical condition” and was transferred to a hospital where he was eventually pronounced dead.

The statement also mentions a probe into the officer’s death that was opened by the army’s Internal Investigation Units, with the results of said probe being expected to be “handed over to the military prosecutor for examination”.
