In the incident, which appeared to be related to the fresh reports on Sunday, Netanyahu's aides are thought to have used "sensitive footage" of a military secretariat officer in order to coax him into changing protocols from the night of October 6-7, 2023 -- hours before the devastating Hamas attack on southern Israel.
According to Ynet, an attempt was also made to edit minutes of discussions related to Israel's preparations to appear before the International Court of Justice.
On Sunday, the court extended by four days the detention of Eli Feldstein, a key suspect in a scandal surrounding suspicions that classified documents were mishandled by the Prime Minister's Office.
The court also extended the detention of an IDF officer suspected of involvement in the scandal, also by four days. [Source: Times of Israel ]
