GAZA, August 6, 2017 (WAFA) – Israeli navy Sunday morning fired at Palestinian fishermen in their fishing boats while sailing off al-Sudaniya shore, north of the Gaza Strip, local source said.
WAFA correspondent said the attack caused damage to the boats, but no casualties were reported among the fishermen who fled the sea in fear of arrest or harm.
Despite the signed agreements with Israel, which allow fishermen to sail as far as 12 nautical miles, Israeli navy targets Gaza’s fishermen on daily basis, and doesn’t allow them to go further than three nautical miles, which is not enough as fish is not dense.
