A senior Israel Defense Forces officer, Brig. Gen. (res.) Erez Winner, reportedly lost highly classified military documents in a parking lot. The documents were found by a passerby and handed in to the authorities. Winner had accidentally dropped the documents while getting out of his vehicle. The incident is compounded by the fact that the documents should not have been removed from the base. Winner's name was previously tied to leaking information to Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.
