An Israeli judge has revealed more details in a case involving an official in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office and a military officer suspected of leaking and mishandling classified intelligence documents. The leak was intended to influence Israeli public opinion and reduce pressure on Netanyahu to secure the release of hostages and end the war in Gaza. State prosecutors have asked the court to extend the detention of the aide and the military officer. The investigation centers on the manipulation and publication of sensitive intelligence information leaked to a German newspaper.
