Mohiyedine Sharif

Mohiyedine Sharif (died March 29, 1998), also known as the electrician, was a master bombmaker for Hamas. A protégé of Yahya Ayyash, Sharif was responsible for the First and second Jerusalem bus 18 massacres, and the Ashqelon bus station bombing. [1]

Sharif died in a car explosion near a garage in Ramallah. Many Palestinians believe that he was a victim to internal struggles between Palestinian militias.

Following his death, the Palestinian Authority arrested five members of Hamas for his killing.[2]
