Similarly, when arriving from TLV and continuing to SIN (again both flights with SWISS and on the same ticket) would I disembark into D/E and then be able to continue to my gate without passing through immigration?
A final note: I wrote that both flights in each case are with SWISS, but actually in each of the directions (TLV -> SIN or SIN -> TLV) one of the flights is with "SWISS Global Airlines" and the other with "SWISS International Airlines" but AFAIR these are basically the same as far as passengers are concerned.
Swiss Global / International is just a name they're using to differentiate different paid crews (Global is, if I remember correctly, their former Crossair contract pilots, International is former Swissair) - same airline behind the cockpit door
You'll be passing through security on arrival, and if all in E, stay in the same terminal/area, for both flights. There is a slim chance for an arrival/departure from D, but it wouldn't really complicate things much further (a bit more to walk, a short automated train ride, that's about it)
Please note that both D as well as E do only offer "little" to passengers in terms of entertainment. A few duty free shops, a few restaurants (no low-cost like Burgerking which is in A) - but that's what you're limited to, when you decide to stay in international transit (non-Schengen, as it's called)
