“The fishermen are supposed to be allowed to fish within six nautical miles off the Gaza shore, but the navy continued to attack, and open fire, at Palestinian boats in Gaza waters in northern and southern Gaza,” the report said.
“The attack is yet another Israeli violation to the cease-fire agreement, as the navy kidnapped two fishermen in the area a week ago, while the navy also attacked fishing boats four times, since the cease-fire deal was reached on August 26,” the Palestinian report went on further to say.
The article concluded that Israel limited Gaza Fishing Zone Again, violating the last ceasefire agreement for the 3rd time.
