Israeli forces open fire at Palestinian fishermen
Israeli forces opened fire on Palestinian land to the east of Gaza City, while at the same time Israeli naval forces attacked fishermen off the coast of Beit Lahia in the northern part of the besieged enclave on Thursday morning.
An Israeli army spokesperson told Ma’an she would look into reports.
Israeli army incursions inside the Palestinian territory have long been a near-daily occurrence, as the Israeli army regularly opens fire on unarmed Palestinian fishermen and farmers along the border areas if they approach Israel’s unilaterally declared “buffer zone,” which lies on both the land and sea sides of Gaza.
The practice has in effect destroyed much of the agricultural and fishing sector of the blockaded coastal enclave.
