01 · THE DISPATCH

The IDF struck a cell of Hamas operatives disguised as municipality workers at a landfill southwest of al-Bureij camp in the central Gaza Strip earlier today, according to Gaza medical sources cited in Arabic-language reports. One killed and several wounded were evacuated to al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat. The IDF has not yet issued an official statement on the operation. The strike comes amid ongoing Israeli operations in the Gaza Strip; the Zioneer has reported on previous IDF strikes in the Nuseirat area, including an IAF strike west of Nuseirat camp on June 11 that caused multiple casualties, and a June 8 helicopter strike on an apartment in Tel al-Hawa that wounded eight fighters. The use of disguise by the targeted cell is a tactic that complicates identification of combatants, but has been reported in earlier incidents in the Strip.
