Israeli navy gunboats on Sunday evening targeted Palestinian fishermen sailing off Gaza’s seashore with heavy spates of machinegun fire.
According to local sources Israeli warships opened fire at Palestinian fishing vessels setting sail within the six-nautical-mile zone off al-Nusairat’s coast in central Gaza Strip.
Israeli navy routinely opens fire on Palestinian fishermen despite sailing within the unilaterally designated six-nautical-mile fishing zone flagrantly violating the ceasefire deal that was struck following 2014’s offensive on the Gaza enclave.
The current six-nautical-mile fishing zone falls drastically short of the twenty nautical miles allocated to Palestinian fishermen in the 1993 Oslo Accords.
