Israeli navy resumes its attacks against Gaza fishermen

 

RAMALLAH, 18 Dec, 2016 (WAFA)- Israeli naval forces Sunday  resumed its attacks  against Palestinian fishermen sailing within the unilaterally designated allowed fishing zone offshore the northern Gaza Strip, said sources.

No injuries were reported among fishermen who apparently fled the scene for fear of being detained, inured, or killed.

To be noted, the current six-nautical-mile fishing zone falls drastically short of the twenty nautical miles allocated to Palestinian fishermen in the 1993 Oslo Accords.

Israeli navy targets Gaza fishermen almost on a daily basis, in a blatant breach of a ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and armed Palestinian groups in august 2014, following 51 days of bloody aggression on the Gaza Strip, which claimed the lives of over 2.200 Palestinians, mostly civilians.
