Several weeks after the 1967 war, advocate M. reported for reserve service with the Military Advocate General Corps and was assigned to serve as a military prosecutor and deputy legal advisor in the Gaza Strip and Northern Sinai area. He summarized his conclusions of the 7-week service in a report he sent to Military Advocate General, Col., Meir Shamgar.
The report highlights the activity of the MAG Corps at a time when it became clearer that the Israeli occupation in the Territories was not short-term but “entering permanent phase” (in M.’s words). Alongside a description of administrative difficulties, the report presents the military prosecutor’s conclusions on overcrowding in Gaza prisons and the use of administrative detention orders during the Occupation’s early months.
