Zvi Bar (Hebrew: צבי בר; born October 8, 1935, in Kfar Yona) is a retired Israeli military officer, police official, and politician.
After Yoav Shaham, the commander of Battalion 202 of the Paratroopers Brigade was killed in action during the Samu Incident in 1966, Bar was appointed to replace him.
Bar attended staff college in Israel and France, and completed a BA in political science from Bar-Ilan University in 1976.
He came to the Israeli public's attention, and garnered approval and support, because of his leadership and morale-building when Ramat Gan was subjected to Iraqi Scud missiles during the Desert Storm operation.
In 2004, Bar was questioned by police on allegations that he and mayor of neighboring Tel Aviv Ron Huldai engaged in corruption.
[3] In April 2011 the Ministry of Justice decided to indict Bar, along with five other real estate developers, for bribery and money laundering.
