The Israeli naval forces on Saturday morning fired on a Gaza fishing boat off the shores of the Palestinian enclave causing it to sink.
Three fishermen who were on board were detained during the incident Zakariya Bakr coordinator of fishermen committees affirmed.
The detainee were identified as the two brothers Mahmoud and Kamel al-Naqah and Mohamed Sultan.
Over the past few years Israeli forces have carried out dozens of attacks on Palestinian boats arresting dozens of fishermen and confiscating several boats.
The Gaza Strip has been under an Israeli blockade since June 2007. The blockade has caused a decline in the standard of living as well as unprecedented levels of unemployment and unrelenting poverty.
