Authorities in Israel have detained the Israeli military's top lawyer, a two-star general,

and accused her of leaking video that allegedly shows Israeli soldiers assaulting a Palestinian detainee.

The general resigned on Friday, but then disappeared over the weekend, causing her family to report her missing.

Nick Schiffran reports that her saga renews an intense debate

about how the legal system treats Israeli soldiers and Palestinian detainees.

In Israel's Stetamon detention camp, alleged abuse caught on camera. It's July 24,

and Israeli soldiers forced a Palestinian prisoner into a corner.

In footage aired on Israel's Channel 12, behind riot shields, the prisoner is allegedly

sexually assaulted.

The abuse goes on for several minutes.

The footage has stunned Israel, in part because of its content, but also because of its source.

Israel's top military lawyer, Major General Yafat-Tomer

Yerushalmi, the military advocate general, was forced to resign on Friday and admitted

to releasing the video. Today, she's under arrest, facing prosecution for obstruction

of justice, fraud, and abuse of office. This weekend, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin

Netanyahu called it a catastrophe.

The incident in State of Amman caused immense damage to the image of the state of Israel

and the IDF, to our soldiers.

This is perhaps the most severe public relations attack that the state of Israel has experienced

since its establishment.

Last summer, the soldiers were charged with abuse but not sexual crimes.

But it still prompted right-wing protests and demands they be released.
