GAZA, February 18, 2017 (WAFA) – Israeli navy boats Saturday opened fire at Palestinian fishermen and prevented them from fishing in the Sudaniya area coast, north of Gaza, local sources said.
The fishermen returned to shore to avoid harm to them or damage to their boats.
Despite the signed agreements between the Palestinians and Israel which allow fishermen to go 12 nautical miles inside the Mediterranean Sea, Israeli navy targets Palestinian fishermen and their fishing boats on almost daily basis if they exceed three nautical miles into sea.
