Dror Yitzhak Weinberg (Hebrew: דרור וינברג; October 26, 1964 – November 15, 2002) was a Colonel in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
Weinberg insisted on a determined fight against terrorists in a focused and pinpoint manner, without unnecessary harm to "uninvolved" civilians and those innocent of any crime.
Shortly before his death, Weinberg was informed that he had been decided to be appointed as the commander of the regular Paratroopers Brigade.
[5][8] Three weeks before the attack, as part of the "Judea First" plan, the IDF withdrew its forces from the city of Hebron.
[9] On the night of Saturday, 11th of Kislev 5763 (November 15, 2002), a terrorist cell carried out an attack on the "Worshippers' Route" in Hebron.
In the incident, 12 people were killed, including soldiers and members of the Kiryat Arba emergency response team.
[10] Weinberg was buried in the military cemetery in Kfar Saba, next to his two uncles who were killed in the Six-Day War.
The "Beit Doresh" synagogue in Kfar Saba is named after him and his brother Shai, who died of an illness about a year and a half after Dror's death.
In 2013, "Beit Dror", a regional emergency center in Mount Hebron, was opened in a former Adorayim base building.
In 2014, his friend Rabbi Meir Cohen established an agricultural high school yeshiva named "Pioneers of Dror" in Bnei Netzarim.
