Israeli Gunboats Arrest 5 Fishermen in Rafah Shore
RAFAH, March 20, 2007, (WAFA)-Israeli Occupation gunboats arrested Tuesday at pr-dawn five fishermen in the Gaza Strip city of Rafah seashore, media sources said.
Israeli gunboats arrested five fishermen fishing in Rafah shore, south the Gaza Strip and led them into an unknown location.
Over 3000 fishermen, distributed on all the Gaza Strip, are working in this career, which provides living for more than 40,000 families.
B'Tselem's research indicates that, since the abduction of Cpl. Gilad Shalit, on 25 June 2006 , Israel has forbidden boats, including fishing boats, to sail off the Gaza coast.
