Mohammed Deif has been on Israel's 'most wanted' list for nearly three decades. ...
Deif is behind the military operation launched from the Gaza Strip that caught Israel off guard on Saturday, October 7. After intense fighting that caused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to declare war on Hamas, Deif, perhaps more than ever, is in Tel Aviv's crosshairs.
As Deif’s bounty rises, his star in Gaza is expected to rise too. His “prestige” was already strong, says Omri Brinner, an Israel and Middle East analyst at the International Team for the Study of Security Verona (ITSS). “But with this operation – the most successful in the history of Palestinian resistance – his legacy will live forever. He can fail now, Israel can assassinate him now: his legacy will outlast him.”
‘Nine lives’
As someone who has escaped multiple assassination attempts, Deif is the “ultimate survivor of Palestinian resistance”, says Brinner. His ability to evade Israeli intelligence services has earned him the nickname "the man with nine lives".
Considered an international terrorist by the United States since 2015, Deif has represented a direct and constant threat to the internal security of Israel for over 30 years. "Militancy against Israel is a field with low life expectancy. It’s quite remarkable that he has been able to survive so long. He is a long-lasting stain on Israel's reputation of taking down designated targets," says Jacob Eriksson, a specialist in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict at the University of York.
The trick to survival lies in remaining hidden. The only official photo of Deif in circulation is over twenty years old. However, he is far from unscathed. Deif is said to have lost his sight, one arm, and one leg after an Israeli attack in 2006.

Dead Man Walking with FAFO stamped in his motherf***ing forehead.
How horrible would it be if the architect imported his weapons and rockets from the Nazis in Ukraine? Perhaps in response Israel will level Kiev.
PA sources report: IDF bombed home of brother of top Hamas official Mohammed Deif. Deif’s brother and other relatives eliminated.
I’m not sure there will be much left of Gaza for his star to shine on.
He’s not just Deif, he’s blind in one eye and in a wheelchair.

Israeli airstrikes in Gaza overnight were said to hit the home of relatives of Mohammad Deif, the Hamas military commander.
Citing Palestinian reports, a number of Hebrew media say Israeli jets struck the home of Deif’s father, killing the terrorist’s brother, his son, and the brother’s granddaughter.
Walla cites a report by the Lebanese news network Al Mayadeen, which is associated with Lebanese terror group and Iranian proxy Hezbollah.
The leaders of Hamas are living in luxury in Qatar.
Typical of an antisemitic anti Israel terrorist to be named after the pedophilic false prophet Mad Mo.
And may his Deif come soon!
Paging Mitch Rapp.
He’s probably in the room next door to Valerie Jarrett at chez obama.
