Israeli gunboats attack fishermen in Gaza waters

Saturday 19-November-2022

The Israeli occupation army attacked on Saturday morning Palestinian fishermen off the northern coast of the besieged Gaza Strip destroying one of their boats.

According to local sources Israeli gunboats fired machine guns and projectiles at fishing boats during their presence within a few nautical miles off the shores of al-Waha and Sudaniya areas in northern Gaza.

No one was reportedly hurt in the attack but one fishing boat went up in flames during the Israeli attack.

In a separate incident Israeli soldiers opened fire at a sewage vehicle in the east of Khan Yunis in southern Gaza forcing it to leave the area.

Under an inhumane siege the Israeli army keeps attacking — sometimes injuring or killing — fishermen and farmers almost on a daily basis with no regard for any ceasefire understandings over Gaza or even the international law.

The Israeli occupation army attacked on Saturday morning Palestinian fishermen and their boats off the northern coast of the beleaguered Gaza Strip.

According to local sources Israeli gunboats opened machinegun fire at fishing boats during their presence within a few nautical miles off the shore of Beit Lahia town in northern Gaza.

No one was reportedly hurt in the attack which forced the fishermen to return ashore.

Israeli naval forces and their gunboats are around Gaza fishermen almost every day harassing them shooting at them damaging their boats and making arrests. Sometimes fishermen are injured or killed during gunfire attacks.

Under the 1993 Oslo accords Palestinian fishermen are permitted to fish up to 20 nautical miles off the coast of Gaza but since then Israel has kept reducing the fishing area gradually to a limit between six to three nautical miles as part of its blockade on Gaza.

Fishermen and human rights groups also say that since the 2008-09 war in Gaza the Israeli army has been regularly enforcing a limit even closer to the shore.
