Israeli gunboats opened machinegun fire at Palestinian fishermen while working on Sunday evening off the northern Gaza Strip coast.
Local sources said that soldiers aboard the gunboats fired live bullets and teargas canisters at the Palestinian fishermen working off al-Sudaniya and al-Waha in northern Gaza forcing them to return ashore.
Israeli navy boats harass Palestinian fishermen off the Gaza coast on a semi-daily basis which threatens their only livelihood.
Since the start of 2022 Israeli navy forces arrested 49 fishermen and injured many others in similar attacks.
