GAZA (PIC)– The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Saturday evening arrested two Palestinian citizens as they were trying to infiltrate from the Gaza Strip into the 1948 occupied territory.
Local sources told Quds Press that Israeli troops moved from a border post east of al-Bureij refugee camp and rounded up two Palestinians near the security fence.
They added that the soldiers forced the two men to take off their clothes at gunpoint before taking them to an undeclared place inside the 1948 occupied territories.
Later Hebrew media outlets reported that two young men were arrested in the area and taken to a Shin Bet interrogation center.
In another incident the Israeli occupation navy kidnapped on the same day two fishermen off the northern coast of Gaza before releasing them.
Chief of the fishermen syndicate Nizar Ayyash told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that Israeli gunboats chased two brothers on a small rowboat and opened fire near them.
Ayyash added that the navy troops confiscated the fishing boat and detained the brothers for a while before releasing them.
The fishermen identified as Karim and Kayed Kallab were working within the permitted fishing zone he noted.
