Shadi Juma, a former officer in the Palestinian Authority's security forces, was arrested by Israeli forces in Qalqilya immediately after his release from PA custody, and charged with the 2007 murder of Ido Zoldan, according to Jewish Breaking News. The indictment was filed earlier Friday by the military prosecution in Judea and Samaria, as The Zioneer reported earlier today. The arrest and identification of the suspect mark the latest development in a case that had seen the suspect held by the Palestinian Authority for 18 years before his release and re-arrest by Israel.
At 11:07 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that the military prosecution had filed an indictment against Shadi Jum'a (the same suspect) for the murder, and that the suspect had been held by the PA for 18 years, released two months ago, and re-arrested by Israeli forces in Qalqilya. A subsequent bulletin at 11:39 Jerusalem, citing Doron Kadosh (N13 / Army Radio), confirmed the indictment and identified the suspect as a terrorist who had been released from PA custody and re-arrested weeks ago. The source quality has evolved from a single report (i24NEWS) to multiple newsrooms, with Jewish Breaking News now providing the suspect's name and arrest details.
The Zioneer has reported on Israel's ongoing operations to re-arrest former security prisoners released by the PA, including a bulletin on July 14 detailing extensive raids and arrests in Qalqilya targeting such individuals. The murder of Ido Zoldan, a father of four, occurred in a 2007 shooting attack near Funduq in Samaria, and the case had remained open.
Specific details of the arrest operation—such as the exact time of Juma's release from PA custody and the circumstances of the Israeli re-arrest—remain limited. The full indictment charges have not been detailed, and the reporting relies on Jewish Breaking News as a single source.
