Five reservists were charged following an investigation into the episode - they have denied the charges and have not been named. But the fallout from the video is intensifying by the day, writes Sebastian Usher. After an investigation into the leak, Maj Gen Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi resigned from her role of Military Advocate General last week, saying that she took full responsibility for the material being released to the media. Then, on Sunday, she was reported missing. Police said she was found alive and well after an hours-long search - but she has now been detained. |

| | On Saturday morning, a huge crowd participated in an event that put the emphasis on quiet commemoration. At 11:52 (10:52 GMT), the time of the disaster, they observed a silence for 16 minutes - one for each of the victims.
Family members cried. One woman needed to be physically supported by men wearing the red berets of armed forces veterans. After the silence, relatives laid flowers at the front of the station. The rubble of the collapsed canopy has been cleared away, but otherwise the building appears to have remained untouched since the disaster. |
