GAZA: Israeli naval boats on Tuesday opened machine gunfire on Palestinian fishing boats and detained five fishermen offshore the Sudaniya to the northwest of Gaza.

 

According to Palestinian News Agency (WAFA), Israeli naval boats opened machine gunfire on fishing boats sailing within the unilaterally-imposed six-nautical-miles fishing zone offshore Gaza city and detained five fishermen. The detained fishermen were taken to the Israeli seaport of Ashdod.

Israeli naval boats open fire on Palestinian fishermen sailing within the six-nautical-miles zone and farmlands along the border on regular basis, flagrantly violating the ceasefire deal.
