An Israeli Defense Forces soldier openly criticized Major General Avi Blot, commander of the Central Command, in a video demanding an end to the use of administrative detention orders. The soldier accused Blot of fighting against fellow Jews rather than enemies, saying, "With one hand you send me to war and with the other you sign orders against patriots." This controversy arises amid a broad media campaign following the administrative house arrest of Tal Yinon Dradik, a young resident of the Samaria region suspected of involvement in serious nationalist criminal acts. Blot imposed the administrative detention order on Dradik at his mother-in-law's home after receiving intelligence material on the matter. The soldier lamented that some commanders in the army forget the real war and instead target Jewish citizens, urging Blot to stop issuing such orders.
