Zionist Israeli regime eases some restrictions on Gaza after truce

Israeli regime has eased some restrictions on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip as a part of an Egypt-brokered ceasefire agreement with the Hamas resistance movement.

Fishermen in Gaza were allowed on Saturday to sail six nautical miles off the coast away from the restricted three nautical miles.

“This is an opportunity and a chance for a better catch, though it is still a limited area,” said Mahfouz Kabariti, whose association represents some 3,500 fishermen in Gaza.

Palestinian farmers also said Saturday that the Tel Aviv regime has eased some border restrictions and allowed them to visit their lands near a “no-go zone” security fence in Gaza that borders the occupied territories.

In 2007, the Israeli regime imposed a 300-meter-wide buffer zone along the Gaza border and restricted the movement of Palestinian people.

Egyptian and Israeli officials also plan to meet in Cairo on Monday to discuss other details of the truce, which ended eight days of deadly Israeli attacks on Gaza.

On November 21, Egypt announced that the Israeli regime and Hamas had reached a ceasefire agreement.

Over 160 Palestinians, including women and children, were killed and about 1,200 others were injured in over 1,500 Israeli attacks on Gaza that were carried out during the eight-day period of November 14-21.
