Israeli navy opens fire at Palestinian fishing boats in Gaza

Saturday 23-November-2019

Israeli naval forces on Saturday morning opened fire at Palestinian fishing boats off the coast of northern Gaza with no injuries reported.

The Palestinian Fishermen of Gaza Committee said that Israeli gunboats heavily opened fire at Palestinian fishermen sailing in Gaza waters in the early morning hours.

The committee said that the fishermen were attacked while fishing within the permitted area which is three nautical miles.

Israeli occupation authorities on Thursday 14 November allowed Gaza fishermen to sail in Gaza waters following a two-day closure that accompanied a military aggression on the besieged territory.

On Tuesday 12 November the Israeli occupation army launched a military assault on the Gaza Strip that lasted for two days and killed 34 Palestinians including three children and injured 111.
