Death of Tomer Eiges explained

Tomer Eiges (1995/1996 – 16 May 2021) was an Israeli IDF officer who served in the Military Intelligence Directorate, and died while in military prison awaiting trial for security offenses.[1] [2] He is said to have seriously harmed Israeli national security[3] [4] [5] while acting independently[6] from a personal motive.[7]
