A Palestinian terrorist who murdered an Israeli civilian in a shooting attack in the West Bank nearly two decades ago has been indicted, the IDF announced Friday.

Military prosecutors filed charges Thursday against Shadi Jumaa for the murder of Ido Zoldan near the West Bank village of al-Funduq in November 2007.

Zoldan, a 29-year-old from the settlement of Shavei Shomron, left behind his wife and two children.

Jumaa was arrested in Qalqiliya on May 26 by officers of the elite police Gideonim unit (Unit 33), after being freed from detention by the Palestinian Authority, where he had been held since the attack.

Footage of the arrest showed police surrounding the man’s car, ordering him to disembark before he exited the vehicle and appeared to surrender to Israeli forces.

According to the indictment, Jumaa and two other attackers formulated a plan to carry out a shooting attack against Israeli settlers on a highway.
