Israeli forces arrested terrorist Shadi Juma’a in Qalqilya today (Tuesday), immediately after he finished serving 19 years in a ‘Palestinian Authority’ prison.
Juma’a was one of three ‘PA’ police officers who carried out the 2007 shooting attack in the Samaria village of Funduq that killed Ido Zoldan Z”L. At the time, he was arrested by ‘PA’ security forces to prevent his capture by Israeli security forces, and served his sentence there until today.
His two direct accomplices in the murder—Dhafer and Abdallah Barhoum—are no longer behind bars, having been released in the recent hostage deal.
The shooting attack that killed Ido Zoldan Z”L, 29, from Karnei Shomron, took place in November 2007 as he was driving home. As he left the village of Funduq, armed ‘PA’ police officers ambushed him.
The terrorists followed Zoldan’s car, overtook it, and while driving fired four shots at it. Shortly after the murder, the “Gospel Army” faction of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades claimed responsibility for the attack. Ido Zoldan Z”L left behind a wife and two young children—Aharon and Rachel.
