Israeli gunboats on Thursday morning opened fire at Palestinian fishermen and their boats off the coast of Gaza City.
According to local sources Israeli naval forces fired live ammunition and sprayed jets of water from cannons towards the fishermen and their boats during their presence within about three nautical miles off the shore of al-Sudaniya area northwest of Gaza City.
The attack forced the fishermen to return ashore.
Despite the recent Israeli decision to expand fishing areas along the coast of Gaza the Israeli naval forces still harass and attack Palestinian fishermen.
