Israeli leak suspect held in secret house arrest

Jerusalem, MArch 30: For the past three months, a 23-year-old Israeli journalist has been under a secret house arrest over charges that she leaked classified information to suggest that the Israel military violated a legal ruling on killings of militants in the West Bank.

An unusual gagging order preventing reporting of the case by the media in Israel will be challenged next month by Channel Ten TV and the newspaper Haaretz.
