Ibrahim Mas’ad and Ibrahim Alqam – Palestinian terrorists belonging to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terror organization, who murdered Ita Tzur, 42, and her 11-year-old son Ephraim in a shooting attack on Dec. 11, 1996. Mas’ad and Alqam fired 120 bullets at the Tzur family’s car near Ramallah as the family drove home to Beit El. The father of the family, Yoel, was wounded, as were four of their daughters. Mas’ad and Alqam were arrested by the PA and given life sentences, but were released by the PA after only a few years and managed to hide until Israeli army and intelligence forces arrested them in Ramallah in June 2006. Mas’ad and Alqam are now serving 2 life sentences plus an additional 25 years in an Israeli prison.
