The IDF confirms carrying out a strike in Gaza’s Maghazi camp last night, killing Hatem al-Ghamri, the head of the so-called emergency committee in the central part of the Strip.
The emergency committee is a Hamas body tasked with maintaining public order and civil control in the Strip’s municipalities.
According to the IDF, al-Ghamri, in addition to being head of the emergency committee in the Central Camps, was also an operative in the Hamas military wing, responsible for rocket fire from the Maghazi area.
Palestinian media reported that at least five people were killed in the strike.
