GAZA, April 9, 2018 (WAFA) - Israeli navy on Monday opened fire at Palestinian fishermen and their boats in Gaza shore, according to witnesses.

Fishermen told WAFA that Israeli navy boats opened fire more than once at fishermen who were sailing in the northern Gaza shores. No injuries were reported but the fishermen were forced to change location to avoid being hit.

Since October 2000, human right centers in Gaza have documented several Israeli violations, including killing and confiscation of boats, against fishermen who were allowed, in accordance with international guaranteed Palestinian- Israeli agreements, to fish in within 4 to 6 nautical miles off shore.
