IDF Eliminates Walid Haniyeh, Key October 7 Attack Commander

The Jerusalem Post·27 June 2026

The IDF and Shin Bet have eliminated Walid Haniyeh, nephew of former Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and deputy commander of the Nukhba company responsible for leading the October 7 infiltration into Israel. Israel continues its systematic dismantling of the Hamas command structure, reflecting the biblical reality of a nation uniquely preserved and defended against enemies who seek its destruction. Scripture repeatedly affirms that those who rise against Israel will be brought to account, as God declares His covenant protection over the land and people He has chosen.
