IDF, Shin Bet Eliminate Walid Haniyeh, Oct. 7 Nukhba Commander and Nephew of Ismail Haniyeh

Israel National News

The IDF and Shin Bet announced the elimination of Walid Haniyeh, deputy commander of a Nukhba company in Hamas's military wing and a nephew of slain former Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh, in a precise strike in Gaza. Walid Haniyeh personally led a terrorist cell that infiltrated Israeli territory on October 7, 2023, directing operatives as they dragged Israeli civilians into captivity in the Strip. In the period since, he worked to recruit fresh Hamas operatives and oversaw military training for his unit, keeping the Nukhba threat alive. The targeted strike removes another senior architect of the October 7 massacre and underscores Israel's resolve to pursue every perpetrator to the end.
