The IDF Chief of Staff just approved a million-shekel package for a senior official who should be facing prison, not retirement. Thankfully, the Finance Ministry and Defense Minister have stopped the package for now, and hopefully for good.

Former Military Advocate General Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi admitted leaking the Force 100 video — a spliced, edited smear that painted IDF soldiers as criminals in the middle of a war for Israel’s survival. That leak was not a clerical error. It was a weapon. It handed our enemies a propaganda gift, fueled UN resolutions against Israel, and helped the global machine that already wants Jews to look like the villains.

The soldiers of Force 100 paid the price. They were branded as rapists. They lost jobs. Marriages collapsed. One of them took his own life. And the official responsible? The army let her walk away with no real punishment and a million-shekel send-off.
