Israeli navy targets Gaza fishermen sinks their boat

Wednesday 13-October-2021

Israeli navy forces opened fire on Wednesday morning at Palestinian fishermen’s boats off Gaza shores.

Local sources reported that Israeli gunboats fired live ammunition at fishing boats during their presence within six nautical miles west of Rafah port in the southern Gaza Strip.

No injuries were reported in the attack. However one of the boats sank after being attacked with water hoses.

The attack forced the fishermen to return ashore after managing to pull out the sunken fishing boat.

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 even killed during the gunfire attacks.
