Israeli navy opens fire at fishermen off Gaza coast

Days of Palestine, Gaza Strip -Israeli occupation navy opened fire on Tuesday morning at Palestinian fishermen off the Gaza coast, no casualties reported.

Palestinian security sources said that the Israeli occupation navy opened fire at the fishermen in two different places along the coasts.

The sources reported no casualties in the incident, but they said that two fishing boats were partially damaged and were towed to the shore.

Fishermen told Days of Palestine that the Israeli navy opened fire at them while they were sailing within the six-mile limit. They said they sailed back to the shore, fearing additional escalation.

It is worth mentioning that the Israeli occupation authorities reduced fishing zone from nine nautical miles to six miles just two months after they claimed they had expanded it from six to nine miles.
