	Mohammed Deif - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mohammed Deif (Arabic: محمد ضيف) is a commander of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas.
		On August 26, 2005, a man identifiying himself as Mohammed Deif appeared in a videotape released by the brigades.
		With most of his body in a shadow and part of his face flened out, Deif spoke in a deep voice about the recent Gaza withdrawal, praised the Hamas members who gave their lives during fighting in Gaza and vowed to continue to attack until Israel's destruction.

		Deif, who was pulled out of the back seat of the burning car lost an eye, has shrapnel in his head and burns to the upper part of the body, Israel's Channel 1 television said Friday.
		Deif, who tops Israel's wanted list as a bomb mastermind from the early 1990's, is held responsible for the deaths of dozens of Israelis in bus bombings and kidnappings.
		Among the attacks for which Deif is blamed are a series of bus bombings in 1996 and an earlier kidnapping of US-born soldier Nahshon Wachsman, who subsequently died in a failed effort by soldiers to rescue him.

	After a decade underground, chief Hamas bombmaker targeted in helicopter strike: 9/27/02
		Deif, Israel says, is the terror brains of Hamas, the group responsible for scores of suicide attacks on Israelis -- including a bus bombing in Tel Aviv last week that killed six Israelis and led to the current Israeli siege of Yasser Arafat's compound in Ramallah.
		Deif planned his first attack on April 6, 1994, when a car rigged with explosives exploded next to a bus in the northern Israeli city of Afula, killing nine people, the Israel military says.
		Deif is said to be bookish, reticent and solitary -- a man who could live for months alone in a darkened room and all but disappear in plain sight.

	BBC NEWS \| Middle East \| Profile: Hamas commander Mohammed Deif
		Mohammed Deif has been at the top of Israel's "most wanted" list for years and is thought to have narrowly escaped the Israeli army's efforts to kill him on several occasions.
		Piecing together the reports, we can say that Mohammed Deif's mentor was Yehya Ayyash, the renowned Hamas bomb maker known as "the engineer" who led the Qassam brigades until his assassination in December 1995.
		It is thought Mohammed Deif took over as head of Izz al-Din Qassam brigades when Saleh Shehada died when a huge bomb was dropped a house in Gaza killing him and 14 others in July 2002, although Hamas has never said who was promoted to replace Shehada.

		From the lie of the non-existent massacre at Jenin to the lie of the staged killing of Mohammed al Dura.
		Despite Mohammed Deif’s enthusiastic threats of annihilation, he and his fellow murderers will have to wait till hell freezes over before Hamas terrorism might force the Jews to ever leave the Jewish State.

		Deif was evasive in his Internet comments about whether his militants would continue to honor the cease-fire, though Hamas appeared reluctant to launch attacks that could invite reprisal raids and eat into its popularity ahead of the parliamentary vote.
		Deif also laid out a history of Izzedine al Qassam, beginning with its first attack, the January 1992 killing of a rabbi in the Israeli settlement of Kfar Darom in Gaza.
