Hamas executes commander who leaked Deif’s whereabouts

Muhammad Shtiwi, one of the commanders in the military wing of Hamas, was executed today on allegations that he gave Israel information on the whereabouts of Mohammad Deif, a terror mastermind who survived multiple Israeli assassination attempts.

According to a Channel 2 report, Shtiwi has been under Hamas arrest since January and today he was executed.

During Operation Protective Edge, Israel bombed a house where Deif was believed to be hiding. It was not clear whether he survived the attack until April this year when he returned to lead the military wing of the terror group. During the bombing, Deif’s wife and children were killed.

Deif himself is reportedly bound to a wheelchair and has trouble speaking. In the past he boasted that the fact that he is still alive after so many attempts on his life proves that Allah wants Hamas to win its struggle.
