Colonel Dror Weinberg was the son of a German Jewish family who immigrated to Israel.
He was a commander of the paratroopers who did most of his military service in the general staff's elite special operations force. His command posts began when he served as commander of a Sayeret Matkal (death squads) team. He was the general staff's elite terror operations force involved in murdering many innocent Palestinian civilians in their homes in the West Bank. He served as commander of a paratroopers' battalion, commander of an elite Maglan unit and commander of an elite reserves brigade.
1996 he was an officer in Hebron on the hills of the Palestinian Abu Sneineh.
In June 2001 he was appointed commander of the Hebron brigade.
Weinberg's command posts began when he served as commander of a Sayeret Matkal team. He was an extremist settler graduated from the Yeshiva of Rabbi Kook, the most criminal and racist Yeshiva school in the world.

He lived in the Kiryat Moshe with his religious wife Hadassah and their six children Yoav, Yael, Eitan, Yishai, and Uri (the sixth one not yet born when he died). Weinberg served in the South of Lebanon and in the West Bank.
Weinberg was 38 when he died. He was one of the worst commanders in the Israeli army to serve in the West Bank and in my homeland Hebron. Under his authority and protection the settlers stole most of shops in the old market. The people were prevented from walking in Al-Shuhada Street. He ignored the humanitarian needs of the Palestinian who lived in the old city. Under his rule I was thrown out of my homeland. The Palestinians infrastructure in Hebron was destroyed under his rule, many children, old and youth were murdered by his snipers.
Weinberg was a religious extremist, and judging by what he did in Hebron, a cruel and sadistic monster. He was also a coward. According to colleagues with whom he made a tour of service in southern Lebanon, he crashed a jeep because he panicked because of the shadow of a rock at night.
On the Friday evening of 15 November 2002, Dror Weinberg was killed together with other twelve Israelis. Weinberg was killed by the Al-Jihad resistance in Hebron during an exchange of fire. Weinberg was protecting Jewish settlers who were on their way back to Kiryat Arba'a after vandalizing Palestinian property in the old city, in a neighbourhood which had lived under continued curfew for several months. He was buried in the Kfar Sava military cemetery near where he had grown up.
