Israeli forces opened fire on the Gazan fishermen who were at sea
Israel's naval forces on Sunday opened fire on the Gazan fishermen who were sailing off the coast of Rafah, in the south of the besieged coastal enclave, Palestinian sources have said.
Israeli navy fired live bullets and water cannons towards Palestinian fishermen, preventing them from fishing and forcing them to return to the shore, sources told The New Arab.
Zakaria Baker, an official from the fishers' committees in the Union of Agricultural Work Committees in the Gaza Strip, told The New Arab that Israeli forces continue to provoke Palestinian fishermen by ongoing attacks.
Since 2007, the Gaza Strip, home to more than two million Palestinians, has been put under a tight Israeli blockade after Hamas won the 2006 legislative elections.
Meanwhile, locals said that Israeli forces fired at Palestinian farmers on agricultural lands east of Qarara, north of Khan Yunis city in the coastal enclave's south.
