He is a suspected bombmaker. other details now corrected. Greg Godwin 14:06 Sep 27, 2002 (UTC)
OK hope that clears it up. Confirmed by Israel and Hamas as being a military commander, but only claimed to be a bombmaker by Israel. Hamas of course will not confirm or deny his acts.
the 9\11 bombers are also claimed\suspected terrorists ? the US claims that they are terrorist ? bin laden is also just suspected ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.43.246.250 (talk) 08:10, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

If this is true and not hearsay, a reference should be included.
From Wikipedia page on Terrorism:
In November 2004, a United Nations Secretary General report described terrorism as any act "intended to cause death or serious bodily harm to civilians or non-combatants with the purpose of intimidating a population or compelling a government or an international organization to do or abstain from doing any act". — Preceding unsigned comment added by ValuableAppendage (talk • contribs) 20:01, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
It seems obvious to any impartial reader that wikipedia whose owner is after all from the same culture sides systematically with one side. Your definition of 'terrorism' clearly applies the more so to the bombing of Gaza... not to speak that the site is since its blockade a 'concentration camp' as defined in the Oxford dictionary: "a place where large numbers of people, especially political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities..." And yet nobody uses that 'exact term'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.33.104.6 (talk) 09:54, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
Concerning [1]. Where in the policy does it say it applies only to primary sources? --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 02:31, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
At one point, Arafat seemed to be actively protecting Deif, while simultaneously telling Israeli government leaders that he knew nothing about the whole thing. This was a significant episode in the downward spiral of trust between the Israeli government and Arafat... AnonMoos (talk) 13:18, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
Fox News report specifies the date as "early Wednesday" which would therefore be the 20th of the month. Other sources seem to include this attack together with other attacks Tuesday night, but since the report of his death is based on Fox News we should give the date of the 20th. I already made the necessary correction in the page but it was reverted. Tkuvho (talk) 07:18, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
Hey i recently added his number of childrens as 3 (2 daughters and 1 martyred seven months old son 'Ali') but as per sources Deif's wife had 2 more sons from here previous marriage so how to add that in his infobox I don't know.... Since I'm not that experienced🫠 Faraz Sualeh (talk) 03:09, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
I understand the long history between Israel and Palestine but what has happened is unacceptable in terms of humanity. The article infers that this attack was acceptable consequence of the conflict. It's quite sad to see intellectuals not be able to call balls and strikes fairly. Same would apply to Israel if and when such things occur. There's baked in bias. 2601:249:8B00:6C84:C48D:12B0:25D7:6347 (talk) 01:34, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
On Wednesday, 11 October, the Jerusalem Post reported that a Deif family home was bombed earlier that same day by Israeli forces. Deif's brother (or a brother of Deif) and two other relatives were killed. Should be added, no? Other reliable sourcing also, including Reuters. 65.88.88.56 (talk) 18:47, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

He’s not a militant. He’s a terrorist, internationally recognized terrorist. He works for a terrorist organization called Hamas. This information is misleading and just WRONG. Likamek (talk) 14:21, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

template. NotAGenious (talk) 15:29, 20 October 2023 (UTC)The United States Department of State added Deif to its list of Specially Designated Global Terrorists.... NotAGenious (talk) 15:30, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
Hi @HaeB, I want to discuss your removal of the fair-use image a few days ago. I respectfully disagree with your reasoning; him not appearing in public has been remarked upon by media.
I understand that he isn't dead, but several living individuals have fair-use images. David Berkowitz is arguably more accessible than Deif, as his location is known and he is open for interviews, but he has a fair-use image (due to his permanent imprisonment). Similarly, Jho Low and Samantha Lewthwaite are fugitives and also have a fair-use image.
I think the best comparison would be Hibatullah Akhundzada, who also is very famous but completely inaccessible. There are only three known photographs of Deif, and one is a silhouette. Bremps... 00:47, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
In the public domain, only three images of Deif are available - one in his 20s, another of him masked, and the third one is the image of his shadow, which the TV used when broadcasting the audio tape: This already seems inaccurate, considering that the photo they show on top of the article is neither masked nor of his shadow, but also different from the photo you uploaded from [4], no?)
I just edited the article, adding new information, restructuring the sections and paragraphs and adding a photo.
I removed the Quotes section, as I felt it was not needed here. We don't have quotes on other biography pages. I also removed from the infobox the details about Deif leading the Battle of Gaza (2007) and the 2008 Gaza War, because as per the referenced information I added to the article body, effective authority over the Hamas military wing between July 2006 and November 2012 was exercised not by Deif, but by Ahmed Jabari, due to injuries sustained by Deif in an assassination attempt.
If you disagree with any of those changes, feel free to discuss them in a reply to this topic. Kindly ping me if you do.
Thanks. Moazfargal (talk) 21:48, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
spelling: change "adress" to "address" in the photo caption of Deif which currently reads "Picture of a shadow, used in an audio adress by Deif". Bondonk (talk) 12:42, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
Makeandtoss removed Deif's full name from the lead and infobox while keeping it in the first section. I think the full name should be displayed in the lead and infobox. Any thoughts? Moazfargal (talk) 20:42, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
"It was believed that the seven assassination attempts have lost Deif an eye and limbs, leaving him wheelchair-bound. After the 2006 assassination attempt, Deif spent three months in Egypt for treatment of his skull after shrapnel lodged in it, and he continues to take tranquillizers daily to treat headaches. Hamas has not confirmed or denied these claims and doesn't comment on his health. His survival has earned him the nickname 'the cat with nine lives' among his Israeli adversaries."
Article from the Jerusalem post dated December 20, 2023 (https://www.jpost.com/israel-hamas-war/article-778785) refutes the claim. "From these videos, it now appears that Deif’s condition is significantly better than Israel had believed following a long series of attacks, some of which wounded him. Deif is able to walk on his own and does not use a wheelchair. He probably has use of both his hands." AninnymouseEditor (talk) 18:13, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
@M3ATH: Please restore the information on his health to the lede, considering the lede is a summary of body. Makeandtoss (talk) 10:41, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

"In October 2023, during the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, Deif's father house was hit by an Israeli airstrike, killing Deif's brother and two other family members. It was unclear whether or not the airstrike targeted Deif."
I believe that this sentence should be changed to:
"In October 2023, during the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, Deif's father's house was hit by an Israeli airstrike, killing Deif's brother and two other family members. It was unclear whether or not the airstrike targeted Deif."
I do not have Extended-Confirmed edit permissions, so if someone else could make this change for me, that would be helpful. Thanks!

M3ATH, I think this is a fail in its current state, and that it is sufficiently far from meeting the criteria that a QF could be justified. But I don't think it's an impossible ask to tidy this up within a week, and I know you've been waiting a while for this review, so I'll leave the choice up to you. If you're prepared to do a lot of work on it, I'm happy to keep the review open and see where we can get. -- asilvering (talk) 21:19, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
