Israeli naval vessels shoot and wound two fishermen in Gaza

The Israeli naval vessels shot and wounded today two Palestinian fishermen, while on board fishing on the northern Gaza coast of Sudaniya.

Medical sources reported that Hussam Assultan, 32, was hit in head and that his injury was described as critical, while Mohammad Ani Assultan, 19, was hit with shrapnel onto his body.

The said shooting on Gaza coast comes amidst a ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian factions, Cairo brokered on June19, 2008.

Recently, many of such factions have warned of possible collapse of the ceasefire due to what they say 'Israeli breaches'.

Gaza's coast, according to Oslo accords of 1993, can be used by Palestinians within 12 nautical miles, yet Israel has grossly tightened restrictions on movement of Palestinian boats since June2007, as the Islamic Hamas party took over the coastal region.
