The leader of terror group Hamas once died in an airstrike from Israel's military. . . only to be resurrected a few hours later before going on to incredibly survive a total of five assassination attempts.<\/p>\n
Mohammed Deif is the commander of the group responsible for launching more than 5,000 rockets into Israel in a surprise assault today (October 7) which has left more than 200 dead.<\/p>\n
The attack by the group designated a terrorist organisation by the UK Government in 2021 was launched on the last day of the Jewish High Holiday of Succot, as well as Shabbat, when the vast majority of the country's population were in synagogues to celebrate the festival. Within minutes, social media was filled with photos and videos of Hamas terrorists taking Israeli residents hostage, brutalising them and murdering them.<\/p>\n

And Deif, speaking to local media, claimed that the attack was done partly because Jewish people \u201cperform Talmudic rituals and prayers, and blow the horn while wearing clothes of priests\u201d.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The bloke has been a target for Israel for more than 20 years, with the country's first attempt to take out the former bomb-making expert taking place in September 2002 \u2013 with the latest happening in May 2021, with two attempts happening in the space of one week during Operation Guardian of the Walls. <\/p>\n
However, some media does claim he has actually been the target of around seven attacks in total.<\/p>\n
But it is the 2014 attempt that lives on in infamy, as it saw Hamas announce the man's death. Israeli intelligence sources claimed that in August of that year, an airstrike had killed him and his wife and daughter.<\/p>\n
