Over the past few days, I broke the story of AMAN cyber-intelligence analyst, Capt. Tomer Eiges, age 25, who died in a military prison last month. The Shin Bet arrested and charged him secretly, according to the security source I consulted, with espionage.
After I published my first story on the case, Israeli media began to clamor for the military censor to release more details for publication. Until I published his name, the media could only report the barest details of the case.
The family has also taken issue with the claim that he committed suicide in his prison cell. Today, a military appeals court permitted publication of details stating that Eiges had not been charged with espionage or treason and that he had not been spying for a foreign country.
