Israeli Naval Boats Open Fire on Palestinian Fishermen


(MENAFN- QNA) Israeli naval boats Tuesday opened fire on Palestinian fishermen offshore Rafah in southern Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian News Agency (WAFA) .

In the first Israeli violation of the ceasefire agreement, an Israeli naval boat opened fire on Palestinian fishermen under the pretext that they crossed the six nautical zone designated for fishing.

Fishermen fled the scene, sailing back to the shore. No injuries were reported among them, WAFA reported.

Before striking the open-ended Gaza ceasefire agreement, Israel restricted the fishing zone designated for the Palestinians to three nautical miles, reducing fishermen’s intake.
