The Israeli occupation forces on Tuesday morning unleashed heavy machinegun fire on Palestinian fishermen and farmers in the blockaded Gaza Strip.
A PIC news correspondent said the occupation navy targeted Palestinian fishermen sailing off western al-Waha seashore in northern Gaza Strip with randomly-shot spates of gunfire.
The Palestinian fishermen reportedly went ashore for fear of being killed in the assault.
On Monday the Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) released five Palestinian fishermen after they were kidnapped by the occupation navy off Gaza’s northern coast. Their boat was however confiscated by the IOA.
The five fishermen released at the Beit Hanoun (Erez) border crossing were identified as Mohamed al-Sultan Ourans al-Sultan Emad Seyam and his son Anas along with Mohamed Abu Diyeh.
Meanwhile the occupation troops deployed at the Sofa military base attacked Palestinian farmers in eastern Rafah city to the south of the blockaded Gaza Strip with barrages of machinegun fire sparking panic among civilians.
