The Palestinian News Agency reported that several Gaza fishing boats were attacked this morning by Israeli Navy ships during a daily fishing expedition, imposing a 16-year sea, land and air blockade on the impoverished Gaza Strip. .
Israeli naval vessels surrounded Gaza fishermen as they sailed off the Khan Younis coast, south of the Gaza Strip, and began firing and flaring machine guns at them.
Similarly, fishermen sailing along the Rafah coast, also south of the Gaza Strip, came under attack from the Israeli navy.
No injuries were reported in either attack, but the fishermen had to cut their jobs short and return to shore to avoid being attacked or detained by the Israelis.
