Zafir Ahmad Omar Barham

A Palestinian policeman, resident of the village of Qedum in Samaria. On November 19, 2007, he participated in the murder of Ido Zoldan along with two other accomplices. On the night of the murder, he and his accomplices waited by the roadside near the village of Pondok in the area of the Qedumim settlement. They followed an Israeli vehicle, overtook it, and fired at it. The rescue forces initially received a report of an injured person in a road accident. When they arrived at the scene, they discovered Zoldan suffering from severe gunshot wounds. Attempts to resuscitate him on the spot were unsuccessful, and he died. Shortly after the murder, a faction of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades claimed responsibility for carrying out the attack. He was arrested that same night by IDF forces. During his interrogation by the Shin Bet, he confessed to the act and handed over the weapon he used. He was released on October 13, 2025, after 17 years in prison, as part of the deal to free the living hostages from the Gaza Strip. According to the terms of the deal, he was permanently expelled from the West Bank.
