Palestinian fishermen in Gaza

The Israeli occupation forces on Tuesday opened machine gun fire at Palestinian farmers and fishermen in Gaza Strip, with no injuries reported.

Local sources said the Israeli gunboats opened fire at Palestinian fishermen off Al Shudaniya area coasts.

Israeli naval forces had been preventing fishermen from fishing in the area, even within the "authorized fishing zone" of six nautical miles.

Israeli forces frequently shoot at Gazan fisherman if they stray further than three nautical miles from the shore.
