From the armed wing to the maternity ward, Palestinian mothers are reportedly naming their babies Mohammed Deif, after the mysterious commander of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades (Hamas’s military wing) since 2002, Israel Radio reports.

Deif has been wanted by Israel for directing terror attacks since the 1990s and has survived repeated Israeli assassination attempts.
