https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimrod_Aloni

Here is his Wikipedia article.

Aloni has been behind many of the war crimes and air strikes in Gaza and the Gaza Strip, and he is also a head advisor to the IDF for military incursions into Palestinian territory.

Aloni was also the architect and general behind Israel’s 2021 “Operation: Guardian of the Walls”, which killed and wounded an estimated 4,000-5,000 Palestinians, and displaced 72,000+ Palestinian civilians.

The Depth Corps is a unit specialising in operations against Hamas, Hezbollah, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. They were behind many of the Mosque bombings, forced evictions, air strikes, and terror attacks on Palestinian civilians over the past two decades. The unit is currently in shambles and is being reformed behind the lines.

    Yeah that is interesting. He isn't mentioned that much in the Bible/Torah, mostly in passing. And the English translation I read says "a mighty hunter before the LORD". Which I took as he was a follower of God. But apparently in the original Hebrew, it can be interpreted as an antagonism to God (attempting to hunt the LORD?). So there is Jewish traditions not in the Torah that are similar to the Islamic one, including opposing Abraham. Additionally, he is listed as founding many cities including Nineveh and Babel. So he is associated with the Assyrians and often assumed that he was the king that ordered the construction of the tower of Babel.

    But the Christian traditions I know of just read it as, "He was the grandson of Noah and a good hunter" since the other details are vague or not present in the Bible/Torah.
