Palestinian medical sources reported that a Palestinian fisherman was shot and killed by Israeli Navy fired on Friday morning off the shores of the Al Shaty’ refugee camp west of Gaza City. The fisherman was identified as Mohammad Mansour Baker, 20. The fetal shot took his life before he was moved to Kamal Adwan Hospital.
Israeli soldiers repeatedly target Palestinian fishermen in an attempt to force them away and prevent them from fishing; dozens of casualties were reported over the past several years.
