The New York Times calls them "transgressions"

"There are also transgressions that have gone unreported. One, brought to light in this book, occurred in early 1972, when Sharon was the military commander in the Israeli south. He expelled Bedouin tribes from parts of Sinai he wanted reserved for military use, sending elderly tribesmen without warning trudging for up to 30 miles through freezing sands. “Many just slumped down and wept,” and more than 40 died, an Israeli expert on the Bedouin, Clinton Bailey, wrote at the time in a complaint to the military chief of staff. The chief of staff, Gen. David Elazar, ordered Sharon to allow the Bedouin back. A few days later Sharon, who was never disciplined for what happened, called Bailey in and, all good cheer, said he too loved the colorful Bedouin. If Bailey ever needed research help he should not hesitate to ask. Sharon then quietly sent out orders barring Bailey from all Israeli military bases in Sinai."
