Israeli rabbinical judge Abraham Zarbiv, based in Ariel, faced criticism after being censured by Israel’s state ombudsman.
Zarbiv, who served hundreds of days in the army reserves, posted videos of himself operating an Israeli army bulldozer to demolish buildings. In an interview with Channel 14, he claimed to have demolished “50 buildings a week,” warning Palestinians that they would have nothing to return to, comments that critics say undermine ceasefire agreements.
He also engaged in political activity supporting settlement expansion and the depopulation of Gaza, including attending the pro-settler “Gaza – The Day After” conference and planning a yeshiva lecture that was later canceled.
In January 2025, the Hind Rajab Foundation filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court seeking his arrest, arguing that his statements violated the 1949 Geneva Conventions and the Rome Statute.
Since December 2024, Israeli forces have pushed beyond long-standing disengagement lines into southern Syria, turning initial incursions into what has been described as a sustained military presence.
According to the Sijil Center, patrols, checkpoints, and newly established positions have restricted civilian movement, access to farmland, and daily life. The center documented more than 1,000 violations, including over 310 ground incursions.
The group said more than 40 civilians were detained without charges or legal access, with families often denied information about their whereabouts.
It also reported that around 35 Syrians were killed in incidents involving live fire, military operations, or movement restrictions, with no transparent investigations announced.

Families in Gaza are anxiously awaiting reunions with relatives through the Rafah border crossing with Egypt. Although the crossing reopened earlier this month, Israel has imposed strict limits on how many passengers can pass.
Palestinians stuck abroad say they are struggling not only with the devastation of the war but also with the pain of being separated from their families.
Journalist Nour Odeh reports.
Since the start of Israel's war of genocide in October 2023, Israel abducted around 22,000 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, including Jerusalem, the Ramallah-based Palestinian Prisoner’s Society reported. This figure includes both current and former detainees and marks an unprecedented two-and-a-half-year record.
The total excludes the Gaza Strip, where thousands more have been detained, and the 1948-occupied territories. Detentions in the West Bank continue to rise, with at least 40 Palestinians taken between Wednesday evening and Thursday morning, including women, a child, and former prisoners.
The group said the detentions involve severe beatings, intimidation, home raids, and property seizure, alongside destruction of infrastructure, demolition of prisoners’ families’ homes, hostage-taking, use of detainees as human shields, field executions, and settlement expansion.
