Mohammad Deif was born in 1965, in Khan Yunis. We do not have much information about Mohammad's early life. He was born in 1965, in a refugee camp located in Khan Yunis in the [[Gaza Strip]]. He studied biology at university and also engaged in theatrical activities for a while. It is said that he participated in numerous operations against Israel in the past 20 years. In the fifth attempt by Israel to kill him, he was paralyzed due to severe damage to his spine. Since then, he has delegated the leadership of Hamas's military wing to his deputy, Ahmad Jabari, who was killed by Israel in 2012. But it is said that he is still in charge of important decisions. | Mohammad Deif was born in 1965, in Khan Yunis. We do not have much information about Mohammad's early life.

He joined the [[Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas]] in 1989 and the fighters of the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades in 1993. Mohammad Deif is one of the close associates of [[Yahya Ayyash]]. He was appointed as the commander of this brigade when Salah Mustafa was killed in 2002. Israel considers him as one of the designers of the suicide operations of the Palestinians against the Israelis since 1996. He is also one of the three main designers of the Qassam rockets and was under arrest by the [[Palestinian Authority]] (PA); from May 2000 to April 2001. Also, he was in charge of digging a network of underground tunnels in Gaza. It is believed that Deif himself spends most of his time in these tunnels to escape the attacks of the Israeli army and leads the military operations of Hamas from there. | He joined the [[Hamas|Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas]] in 1989 and the fighters of the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades in 1993.
