The Israeli occupation media's disclosure of the "good health situation" of Muhammad al-Deif, the commander-in-chief of the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), contrary to previous intelligence estimates, sparked interaction on social media.

The guest is one of the most prominent leaders of the Palestinian resistance, and the Israeli occupation tried to assassinate him 7 previous times, the last of which was in 2014, while the most famous was in 2002 when Apache helicopters bombed his car in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in the Gaza Strip, but Tel Aviv later admitted that he miraculously survived.

According to Israeli newspapers, Mossad estimates over the past decade have confirmed that the guest suffered direct injuries in 4 assassination attempts, leaving him paralyzed, unable to walk on his feet, and sitting in a wheelchair.

However, the Israeli newspaper Maariv reported that the Israeli army found videos in Gaza showing the guest walking around with a slight limp without using a wheelchair, contrary to previous Israeli intelligence estimates.

The report caused a stir in Israel, with several Israeli media outlets calling it an intelligence failure, while some argued that Muhammad Deif had succeeded in deceiving Israel all these years, and others argued that this caused great embarrassment to the Mossad.

Top of war targets

Since the beginning of the last Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, the occupation army has placed Muhammad al-Deif at the top of its targets for the war, and a few days ago dropped leaflets on the Gaza Strip promising a financial reward of $ 100,<> in exchange for anyone providing reliable information about the guest.

Shabakat (2023/12/21) monitored part of the comments of tweeters about this Israeli intelligence failure, including what Wadih wrote, "The Israeli intelligence mistakes in bulk, the Shin Bet lied previously and said that they hit him, and now they admit their mistake and do not know how to succeed in neutralizing it despite their attempts."

Ibrahim tweeted: "Another failure of Israeli intelligence similar to the failures that have been constantly exposed since the Al-Aqsa flood. The illusion they created that the Mossad was supernatural was fading."

Jassim said, "With what occupation and lost intelligence are we dealing with? Mossad does not know the health status of the most prominent leaders of the resistance, does not know information about him, and all the previous information he had turned out to be wrong."

Lamees spoke of another angle: "They think that a person's ability is in his limbs. Rather, it is in his creed, even if there is one beating race in him. Mohammed Deif has been trying to entrap him for years to no avail."

On the other hand, the Israeli occupation army responded to reports that saw the matter as an intelligence failure by saying that it was not surprised by the appearance of the guest in good health while walking on his feet, stressing that the latest information is consistent with what was known to the army and the Shin Bet in recent years, according to statements by security officials to Israel's Channel 12.
