(MENAFN- QNA) Israeli navy boats on Friday opened fire at fishermen boats in al-Sodanya area, northwest of Gaza, in an apparent violation of the ceasefire agreement reached in 26 August, Palestinian sources said.
The fishermen said that Israeli warships used machine guns to fire at their boats while they were sailing within the agreed-upon six-nautical-mile limit near Rafah.
No injuries were reported.
A ceasefire agreement reached on Aug. 26 stipulated that Israel would immediately expand the fishing zone off Gaza's coast, allowing fishermen to sail as many as six nautical miles from shore, and would continue to expand the area gradually. Under the terms of the deal, Israel also agreed to ease its siege on the coastal enclave.
