His first wife bore him eight children, six of whom now live in Israel, and he has four children from his other wives. According to the same source, in the mid-1980s, Syrian President Hafez al-Assad began carrying out a campaign that included the arrest of Palestinian cells, and Abdul Hamid recalled, "He wanted to expose an Israeli spy network, and I was part of it," so he fled before he was arrested.

The sources also mention that Abdul Hamid was subjected to attempted murder four times, and that when there was a possibility of one of these attempts succeeding, the Israeli General Security Service informed him of the necessity of leaving the Palestinian National Authority lands, but he was late and was injured in one of the attempts, and since that time he moved to Israel and rarely goes to West Bank. Israel gave him an apartment in Lod and then in a religious neighborhood in Jerusalem, but the Israeli population didn't like an Arab next to them, so he was moved to Ashkelon, where he works as a chef in a hotel on the Mediterranean, and occasionally lectures on security and the Middle East at the Truman Institute at Hebrew University.
