While on their daily fishing expedition, several Gaza fishermen’s boats came under attack this morning from Israeli navy ships enforcing a 16-year-long sea, land, and air blockade on the impoverished Gaza Strip, reported Palestinian News Agency.
The Israeli navy ships encircled the Gaza fishermen sailing in the Khan Yunis coast in the south of the Gaza Strip before opening machine gunfire and flares toward them.
Likewise, fishermen sailing across the Rafah coast, also in the south of the Gaza Strip, came under attack from the Israeli navy.
No injuries were reported in either attack, but the fishermen had to cut their work short and return to the shore to avoid being hit or detained by the Israelis.
