Palestinian fishermen come under Israeli attack

Several Gaza fishermen’s boats this morning came under attack by Israeli occupation navy forces.

WAFA reported that the Israeli navy ships encircled the Gaza fishermen sailing in the Khan Yunis coast in the south of the Gaza Strip before opening machinegun fire and flares toward them.

The fishermen had to stop their work and return to the shore to avoid being hit or detained by the Israeli forces.

Earlier, fishermen sailing across the Rafah coast, also in the south of Gaza Strip, came under attack from the Israeli navy.

These attacks aim at tightening a 16-year-long sea, land and air Israeli blockade on Gaza Strip.
