Two Palestinian fishermen were injured by Israeli live bullets while they were working off the southern shores of the Gaza Strip on Sunday evening.

According to the fishermen committee the Palestinian fisherman Mazin Jamil and his son Faris were injured after the Israeli gunboats opened fire at their boat west of Rafah port.
