Palestinian fisherman shot off Gaza coast

The Israeli Navy reportedly shot and injured a Palestinian fisherman off the coast of Gaza, the Ma’an news agency reports.

The 19-year-old man was shot in the foot and hospitalized, but the report gave no indication of his condition.

The Gaza fishermen’s union contends that the boat he was on was within the zone permitted by the Israeli blockade. The IDF says the boat strayed out of Gazan waters and that those aboard didn’t respond to warning shots.
