4 Gaza fishermen kidnapped in Israeli navy sweep released

Monday 16-October-2017

The Israeli occupation authorities on Sunday evening released four Palestinian fishermen kidnapped earlier in the day off Gaza’s northern seashore.

According to local sources the Israeli authorities released four Gazan fishermen hours after they were kidnapped from Gaza’s northern coast.

The four fishermen are: Fuad al-Sultan 22 and his 18-year-old brother Mahmoud along with Tareq al-Sultan and Mohamed Zayed both aged 23.

The Israeli occupation navy continues to chase down Palestinian fishermen off Gaza’s shoreline in violation of the Cairo-brokered ceasefire deal struck in the wake of the 2014 Israeli offensive on the besieged coastal enclave. Dozens of fishermen have been left wounded and others kidnapped in several such assaults by the Israeli naval forces.
