The military says Navy forces detained four Palestinians off the coast of the Gaza Strip early this morning over suspicions they were involved in a smuggling attempt.
One of the suspects was wounded by a sponge-tipped bullet fired by the Navy troops, the Israel Defense Forces says.
The four suspects and the vessel have been handed over to the Shin Bet security agency for further investigation.
Attempts at smuggling via the maritime route from northern Egypt to Gaza are believed to be frequent.
