Israel expands fishing zone allows fuel supplies into Gaza

Friday 28-June-2019

The Israeli occupation authorities have decided to expand the fishing zone in Gaza waters to 15 nautical miles starting Friday.

On Friday morning the Israeli authorities allowed the entry of Qatari fuel supplies into Gaza after a ban imposed since Tuesday.

Israeli media on Thursday night announced that an Egypt mediated agreement had been reached between Israel and Palestinian resistance groups in the Gaza Strip.

Based on the agreement Israel is supposed to expand the permitted fishing area return all seized fishing boats allow fuel supplies into the enclave and prevent its forces from opening fire at the Great March of Return protesters.

The Israeli occupation authorities last Tuesday imposed a ban on the entry of Qatari fuel into the besieged Gaza Strip in response to fire balloons launched from the coastal enclave over the eastern border fence.
