  • A rare 1990s photo shows Hamas commander Mohammed Deif in the West Bank.
  • Deif is pictured with Hamas operative Amjad Abu Halaf, killed in 1994.
  • The image shows Deif before injuries from assassination attempts.
  • The injuries affected Deif's eyesight and mobility.

A previously unseen photograph from the 1990s depicts Mohammed Deif, the current commander of Hamas's military wing, during an earlier period of his life. The image shows Deif, wearing a black shirt, alongside Amjad Abu Halaf, identified as a Hamas operative from the "terror unit" who was eliminated in 1994. The article notes that Deif appears in the photo before sustaining injuries from assassination attempts, with both his eyes still functional. The context suggests this was a period before Deif suffered the severe wounds that have since impacted his mobility and eyesight.
