01 · THE DISPATCH

A report by Israel Hayom on Friday said Walid al-Majdi Haniyeh — a Hamas operative and nephew of former Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh — succumbed to wounds he sustained in an Israeli strike on the al-Nasr neighborhood of Gaza City. The timing of the strike and the specific circumstances were not detailed in the initial report. Ismail Haniyeh, the former Hamas leader, was killed in a targeted strike in Tehran in July 2024, an attack attributed to Israel. No further information on the strike or other casualties has been released. The report is based on a single source and the identity and affiliation of those hit have not yet been independently confirmed.
