Hamas Nukhba Commander Who Led October 7 Infiltration Eliminated

Walid Haniyeh, the deputy commander of a Nukhba company in Hamas’ military wing, has been eliminated.

According to the IDF, Haniyeh commanded the infiltration of a terrorist cell into Israeli territory during the October 7 Massacre, when Hamas terrorists carried out one of the deadliest attacks in Israel’s history.

Haniyeh also worked to recruit additional terrorists into Hamas and oversaw military training for the Nukhba company under his command.

His elimination removes another Hamas commander directly tied to the October 7 atrocities and the terror group’s ongoing efforts to rebuild its forces.
