Narrative:
For all of the ZZZ crossing flights continent X to us on this date; I used ZZZZ as an etp and ETOPS airport...there was a NOTAM pertaining to covid which limited the hours of operations. I simply missed this fact. It was buried within the NOTAM and the NOTAM talks about arff status; so I scanned over the operational hours part of the NOTAM.the operational hours which the NOTAM referred to were buried within the NOTAM about arff CAT status. I simply missed it.suggestions: fully reading through all pertinent notams prior to dispatch.
