The Israeli occupation navy on Friday morning opened machinegun fire at Palestinian fishermen and their boats off the northern shores of the besieged Gaza Strip.
According to local sources, Israeli gunboats chased some fishing boats in the northern waters of Gaza and suddenly opened heavy fire at them, forcing them to return ashore.
Luckily, no one was hurt in the shooting attack.
Israeli gunboats are around Gaza fishermen almost every day, harassing them, shooting at them, damaging their boats, and making arrests.
Sometimes fishermen are injured or killed during gunfire attacks.
Under the 1993 Oslo accords, Palestinian fishermen are permitted to fish up to 20 nautical miles off the coast of Gaza. Over the past 18 years, however, Israel has reduced the fishing area gradually to a limit of three nautical miles as part of its blockade on Gaza.
But fishermen and human rights groups say that, since the 2008-09 war in Gaza, the Israeli army has been regularly enforcing a limit even closer to the shore.
