In a striking fusion of Torah and tactical warfare, Rabbi Abraham Zarbiv, a respected religious judge (dayan) in Tel Aviv and elite combat fighter in Sayeret Givati, has become an unlikely household name across Israel.
The verb “lezarbev,” refers to the methodical destruction of terrorist infrastructure in Gaza, a reference to Zarbiv’s remarkable precision in taking down Hamas strongholds.
Averaging over 50 demolitions a week, he’s earned a near-mythic reputation among his unit and far beyond.
Interviewed by Yinon Magal on Channel 14, Rabbi Zarbiv said that his unit has had to learn how to “play the D-9” as if it were a musical instrument.
“You don’t know what it is to take down a 6-storey building: will it fall on me or not?”.
He then went on then on to explain that every evening they would repair the D-9s that were damaged and then set out the next day for a new session of “lezarbev” terrorist structures
