Navy fires at Palestinian fishing boat off Gaza

Israeli navy sailors shoot and lightly injure two Gazans who did not heed calls to stop after they left the Strip’s designated fishing zone, the army says.

After the boat traveled outside the permitted area, the soldiers called for it to halt and fired shots into the area before taking aim at the boat itself, according to an IDF statement.

The Palestinians were taken into custody and their boat was impounded, the army says.
