The Rishon LeZion Magistrate's Court permitted publication that a senior civil servant was released to house arrest after being arrested and questioned on suspicion of involvement in a serious security affair. The publication was made possible following a request by Kan News, and the senior official, who holds a sensitive position in the civil service, is not an elected official. The fact that he was released to house arrest despite the suspicions raises questions about their nature. According to the report, this is a unique security affair involving a figure with unique characteristics. The Shin Bet and the police responded to the request to narrow the sweeping gag order, which included a ban on the very existence of the order and the investigation.
