“Israeli” Forces Shoot, Wound Three Palestinian Fishermen


“Israeli” forces have shot and wounded three Palestinian fishermen off the coast of the Gaza Strip as Tel Aviv continues its grip on the coastal sliver.

The fishermen’s boat caught fire after the incident which left the three Palestinians injured, AFP reported.

Palestinian officials in Gaza say the attack is not the first of its kind and aims to tighten the screws on fishermen living in the territory.

This comes after tens of fishermen organized a sit-in in the port of Gaza on Thursday, calling on the international community to intervene and help lift the “Israeli” maritime siege, reduce restrictions on their operations, and provide them with international protection.

According to health officials in Gaza, at least 10 Palestinian fishermen have been killed and dozens wounded since 2010.
