Ex-Israeli soldier admits leaking secret military files
During her military service, Anat Kamm worked as a clerk in the office of an army generalAnat Kamm pleaded guilty in return for the prosecution dropping more serious charges, which included spying and harming state security.
According to the charges, she passed more than 2,000 documents to the daily Haaretz newspaper.
Kamm, 24, will be sentenced at a later date and faces a maximum jail sentence of 15 years.
The Tel Aviv District Court heard that between 2005 and 2007 Kamm copied secret documents from army computers while working as a clerk in the office of a general.
After leaving the army and while working for an Israeli website, she gave the documents to a reporter from Haaretz.
Haaretz later published a report about a possibly-illegal Israeli operation to kill Palestinian militants in the West Bank.
Kamm was arrested in December 2009 although her detainment was only made public four months later. She has since been under house arrest.
Kamm's lawyer, Eitan Leman, said that the documents leaked to the Israeli journalist did not harm Israeli security.
Under the plea bargain, Kamm pleaded guilty to possessing and distributing secret information while the original charges that included harming state security were dropped.

De aanklacht kan niet serieus worden genomen als je leest op welke gronden de neef van Barbra Streisand Israëlisch staatsburgerschap wordt ontzegd.
Dale Streisand, 57, was reportedly denied new immigrant status on the grounds that his Facebook profile indicated he had been involved in Christian missionary activity in the past.
Streisand said he did not know how the link appeared on his Facebook page. He said he has also deleted his entire Facebook profile, including the links in question. He created a new profile, in which the Israeli flag served as his primary profile photo and he lists Chabad of the Philippines and the right-wing settler radio station Arutz Sheva among his Facebook friends.
His previous Facebook page, he claims, was taken out of context. He explained to Haaretz that one of his friends had sent him a link titled "Click if you love Jesus," and that there were a few other things from his past that were found, but they had no connection to who he is today.
According to the Law of Return, the interior minister may deny a Jewish person the right to immigrate if they have a criminal record, endanger public health or state security, or if they "work against the Jewish people." The High Court of Justice has in the past upheld the decision not to grant immigrant status to a Jewish person who has been proven to have converted.
