The Israeli occupation navy on Thursday morning bombed Gaza shores with several projectiles and opened fire at fishermen and their boats.
Chief of the fishermen committees Zakariya Baker told Quds Press that Israeli gunboats fired projectiles towards different coastal areas and opened machinegun fire heavily at fishermen during their presence off the coast of Gaza.
Luckily no one was reportedly hurt in these attacks.
Recently the Israeli naval forces intensified their attacks on fishermen and their boats.
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.
