Barak Hiram (Hebrew: ברק חירם) (born in 1979) is an IDF officer with the rank of Brigadier general, currently serving as the commander of the 99th Infantry Division.

He underwent training as a fighter and an infantry commanders' course, returned to the unit as a team sergeant, and participated in combat in South Lebanon.

On September 1, 2016, he was promoted to the rank of colonel and appointed as the commander of the Golan Brigade, a position he held until July 15, 2018.

[9] At 11 AM, he arrived with his team in Alumim, where the readiness company managed to defend the village, and the force under his command killed three militiamen.

Shortly after, he continued with fighters from various units to Kibbutz Be'eri, where a long and casualty-heavy battle ensued until Monday afternoon.

During the fighting at Be'eri, Hiram reportedly ordered a tank to fire on a house where Hamas militiamen were holding several Israeli civilians hostage.

While an IDF investigation concluded that the university grounds were being used by Hamas fighters, it also found that Hiram failed to secure proper authorization for destroying a sensitive educational site.
