The mysterious figure of Mohammed Deif, the commander-in-chief of the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, has been a subject of intrigue and caution.
The Israeli occupation army claimed to have assassinated Deif in a raid two weeks ago in Khan Yunis, Gaza.
Israeli officials stated that Deif’s death was a significant blow to Hamas, aiming to weaken the organization and achieve their objectives in Gaza.
Hamas refuted the claims, emphasizing that any announcement about their leaders’ status should come from the movement itself.
Who is Mohammed Deif?
Born in 1965, Deif’s life is shrouded in mystery, characterized by rare public appearances and surviving multiple assassination attempts.
The recent Israeli offer of cash rewards for information on Deif’s whereabouts follows the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, escalating tensions in the region.
