Gaza fishermen attacked by Israeli gunboats

Friday 10-February-2017

The Israeli occupation navy at daybreak Friday opened heavy machinegun fire on Palestinian fishermen off Gaza’s northern shores.

According to eye-witnesses the Israeli gunboats unleashed barrages of gunfire toward Palestinian fishermen sailing off Beit Lahiya seashore to the north of Gaza’s coast.

No injuries were reported in the attack. However Palestinian fishermen went ashore for fear of being killed in the shooting.

Palestinian fishermen have been attacked by the Israeli navy on a quasi-daily basis on claims that they transcended the allowed nautical miles.
