Suspect in settler's murder detained in West Bank
Palestinian believed to be part of terror cell that killed Ido Zoldan in November 2007 apprehended in joint IDF-Shin Bet operation
IDF forces and Shin Bet officers operating in the northern West Bank Wednesday night arrested Keis Kdumi, who is believed to have been part of a terror cell which killed Israeli settler Ido Zoldan in a shooting attack in November of 2007.
Kdumi was arrested in a West Bank village and turned in to security forces for further questioning.
Zoldan, a 29-year-old resident of the Shavei Shomron settlement, was murdered in a shooting attack on November 19, 2007, on the eve of the Annapolis peace conference near the settlement of Kedumim.
According to the indictment filed against two other members of the terror cell - Abdullah Braham and Jafar Braham - who were apprehended in early December, the assailants drove near the West Bank village of Kafr Kadum, with the intention of murdering Israeli drivers.
At around 11 pm, the suspects spotted a vehicle with an Israeli license plate. They drove behind it, and while trying to cut the driver off, one terrorist attempted to fire at the car, but did not succeed because the cartridge was not entered properly.
After fixing the malfunction in the weapon, the suspects waited for another Israeli car. Shortly afterwards, they spotted Zoldan's car and fired nine bullets towards it while cutting it off. Zoldan was injured in the neck and chest and later died of his wounds.
