Tens of millions of Arab viewers are expected to tune in to a mini-series celebrating the life of a Hamas terrorist responsible for the deaths of more than 100 Israelis, The Jerusalem Post reported.

Yehya Ayyash, nicknamed "The Engineer" for his expertise in making bombs for terror attacks, is the subject of the television series, which will air during the upcoming Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

"I was deeply impressed by (Ayyash's) personality," said Diana Jabour, who wrote the script for the show.
