01 · THE DISPATCH

Palestinian sources in Gaza, cited by the Abu Ali Express channel, now report that the death toll from an Israeli strike on a workshop in Gaza City has risen to four, and that the overall number of fatalities from IDF fire across the Strip since morning has reached seven. This update follows a series of reports earlier today on the same incident.

The Zioneer first reported the strike at 14:07 Jerusalem, when an Israeli drone targeted the Beit Afana workshop on al-Sanaa Street in western Gaza City with three missiles, causing casualties. Shortly after, an evacuation warning was issued for the same location. By the same time, reports indicated that two operatives had been killed in the strike on the weapons facility. Now, the death toll has climbed to four, according to the same Palestinian sources. The identities of the casualties and the specific target of the workshop strike have not been disclosed. The IDF has not commented on the reports.

The Zioneer has previously reported on other incidents of strikes in Gaza, such as on June 8, when Palestinian sources reported 7 killed across the Strip, and on July 1, when 3 were reported killed in Gaza City. These past reports, like the current one, have relied on Palestinian sources and have not been confirmed by Israeli officials.

What remains open: The exact affiliation of the workshop, the identities of the dead, and the IDF's operational assessment have not been confirmed. The reports remain unverified by Israeli sources.
