Israeli gunboats opened heavy machinegun fire at Palestinian fishing boats off the northern coast of Gaza Strip on Sunday evening.
Local sources said that the intensity of the shooting destroyed the searchlights of at least four fishing boats.
The fishermen were forced to return ashore while no casualties were reported.
Israeli occupation forces target Palestinian fishermen farmers and shepherds in the Gaza Strip on a semi-daily basis as part of the tightening siege on the enclave.
