Navy opens fire on Gaza fishermen, Palestinians say 1 killed
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA naval gunboat has opened fire on a Gaza fishing boat with three people inside, reportedly killing one person, Palestinian sources say.
The IDF says it is aware of the reports and is investigating.
The navy routinely fires warning shots at boats that stray out of the limited fishing zone, imposed as part of Israel and Egypt’s blockade of the Gaza Strip.
The blockade is aimed at ensuring that Hamas not import weapons or material for building tunnels or fortifications.
