Zablon Simintov or Zebulon Simentov[Note 1] (Dari/Pashto: زابلون سیمینتوف; Hebrew: זבולון סימן-טוב; born 1959)[5] is an Afghan-born Israeli former carpet trader and restaurateur.

[6][7][8][9] On 7 September 2021, shortly after the Taliban takeover, he left Afghanistan with the help of a private security company that had been organized by Israeli-American businessman Mordechai Kahana and American rabbi Moshe Margaretten from the Tzedek Association.

[10] A month later, it was discovered that Simentov may not have been the last Jew living in Afghanistan; Tova Moradi, a distant relative of Simintov, fled to Albania with her 20 grandchildren in October 2021.

[14] Simintov is also known during this time period for his heavily publicized feud with Yitzhak Levi (Ishaq Levin), another Afghan Jew; it has been claimed that the two were expelled from a Taliban-led jail due to their constant fighting.

[15] Simintov lived at the Kabul synagogue alongside Ishaq Levin, who was thought to be the only other Jew remaining in Afghanistan, until the latter's death on 26 January 2005 at around 80 years of age.

The story of Simintov and Levin as the supposed only remaining Jews in Afghanistan served as the basis for a British play,[16] as well as the Belgian-French documentary Cabal in Kabul.

[22] In April 2021, Simintov announced that he would leave Afghanistan for Israel after the High Holy Days in September, fearing a resurgence of groups such as the Taliban after the US military began withdrawing.

[29] Eventually, he left in September 2021 with several neighbouring families, stating that it was not the Taliban, but the possibility of other, more radical Islamist groups such as IS-KP taking him hostage, which resulted in his exit from the country.
