Mohiyedine Sharif (Arabic: محيي الدين الشريف)(killed 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 gained a BA in Electronic engineering at the Al-Quds University. 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] But HAMAS said that the Preventive Security Force by it's commander Jibril Rajoub killed Sharif after they arrested him.^[3]
