IDF says it fired at vessels off the coast of Gaza that violated maritime security restrictions

The IDF says troops opened fire at a number of vessels off the coast of the Gaza Strip earlier today that violated maritime security restrictions.

The vessels did not immediately return to shore, the IDF says, but did so after troops fired in their direction a second time.

Elsewhere in the enclave, the military says troops opened fire to repel people who approached them “and posed a threat to them.”

“The IDF once again calls on Palestinian civilians to obey IDF instructions, not approach the forces deployed in the area, and to pass through the agreed checkpoints.”
