Israeli navy on Saturday opened gunfire and its water hoses at Palestinian fishermen sailing three nautical miles off the northern Gaza Strip coast, reported Palestine news agency (WAFA) .

According to Palestine’s Fisherman Union, an Israeli navy ship shot at fishermen’s boats and opened water hoses at them to force the fishermen to return to shore, which they did in fear of being shot or killed by the Israelis.

The Israeli navy almost daily attacks Palestinian fishermen sailing along the Gaza Strip coast and prevents them from earning a living.
