An Israeli military officer arrested on suspicion of leaking Hamas documents pleaded with judges at the Tel Aviv District Court on Sunday to lift a gag order on his identity so he can clear his name.

“Everything was released to the media and I cannot fight for my innocence when I am in the dark and in the dark. I cannot fight for my good name. The public needs to know who I am, what I did – and what my intentions were,” said A. “I was wrong in the way I acted, I will never repeat it.”

A. added said that he missed his family, “I have a small child and a wife at home that I take care of and they take care of me. I think about them all the time and I don’t understand how I am still in detention.”
