The investigation into Brig. Gen. (res.) Israel Shomer in the purity of conduct affair within the Military Advocate General's Corps has concluded. Shomer was investigated on suspicion of prohibited conduct in a relationship with an officer who was subordinate to him. According to sources familiar with the affair, the conclusion reached is that there was a subordinate relationship between the two, but the relationship was consensual. Due to a lack of evidentiary basis justifying an indictment, it appears that no criminal indictment will be filed. However, a disciplinary proceeding is expected. The Military Advocate General's Corps has not yet completed its handling, and final steps remain, including the officer reviewing the investigation materials. Shomer served as head of the Operations Division in the IDF, a resident of Kibbutz Kfar Aza, and on October 7 fought against terrorists. His attorneys stated that his actions do not constitute a criminal offense and that it is solely a disciplinary matter.
