Hamas Celebrates Military Commander Mohammed Deif During His Sons' Graduation Ceremony

On February 7, 2022, the Turkish news agency Anadolu posted on its YouTube channel a video by the Islamic Bloc in South Gaza, showing the graduation ceremony of two sons of Mohammed Deif, the commander of Hamas's Izz Al-Din Al-Qassam Brigades. Deif's sons, Khaled and Bahaa, graduated from the school on the honor roll, and the announcer extended congratulations to Deif, who he described as "the legend of jihad and resistance."

Speaker: "I shall begin this gathering by extending to you the blessings and salutations of your brothers in the Islamic Bloc. We extend special congratulations to the man who is not with us in body, but whose love and loyalty lives within us, a man whose name has reached everywhere, and whose reputation precedes him in all corners of the world.

"That man who is honored today by two sons who are graduating on our honor roll - honor student Bahaa and honor student Khaled, the sons of the great mujahid commander, the legend of the Jihad and the resistance, the mujahid sheikh 'Abu Khaled' Mohammed Deif, may Allah protect him."
