Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn Israeli Navy ship opens fire Monday at a Palestinian vessel off the Gaza coast, reportedly wounding one person aboard the vessel.
According to the IDF, the Palestinian vessel crossed Israel’s line of blockade and was ordered to turn back. When the vessel refused, Israeli sailors fired warning shots in the air. When the vessel continued, they opened fire at the vessel itself.
The wounded Palestinian was taken by the navy to a hospital inside Israel.
Six more Palestinians are under arrest after three other ships attempted to cross the blockade line.
Monday is being marked by Palestinians as “Nakba Day,” a day of mourning over Israel’s establishment in 1948.
