Who is Mohammed Deif: Palestinian militant behind Israel attack is slippery, one-armed, one-legged former bomb makerBy Isabel Keane
Published Oct. 10, 2023
The shadowy mastermind behind Hamas’ sneak weekend slaughter in Israel is a one-armed, one-legged psycho nicknamed “the cat with nine lives’’ because he’s dodged so many Israeli assassination attempts.
“Mohammed Deif,” the pseudonym used by the fearsome head of the Palestinian terror group’s military wing, chillingly warned “the enemy” that they will soon be “held to account” as Hamas launched its unprecedented attack on Israel, kicking off a war Saturday that has already left more than 1,000 Israelis and 765 Palestinians dead.
“In light of the continuing crimes against our people, in light of the orgy of occupation and its denial of international laws and resolutions, and in light of American and Western support, we’ve decided to put an end to all this,” the wheelchair-bound terror chief and former bomb maker said in a broadcast Saturday, according to Financial Review.
“So that the enemy understands that he can no longer reveal without being held to account,” added Deif, whose last name means “guest” in Arabic — an apparent reference to him moving around so much and staying with different operatives to escape detection.
