GAZA, April 17, 2017 (WAFA) – Israeli navy Monday opened fire at Palestinian fishing boats while they were sailing off al-Sudaniya coast in northwest of the Gaza Strip, local sources said.
The fishermen had to leave the sea and return to shore in fear of getting shot.
No casualties were reported, however.
To be noted, Israeli navy targets Palestinian fishermen and their fishing boats on almost daily basis.
Despite the signed agreements between the Palestinians and Israel which allow fishermen to go 12 nautical miles inside the Mediterranean Sea, Israeli navy does not allow them to go further than three nautical miles, which the fishermen say is not enough to catch fish.
