On Thursday, Israeli navy ships attacked Palestinian fishing boats, abducted two fishermen, and confiscated fishing gear in the northern part of the besieged Gaza Strip.
Media sources said the navy ships fired live rounds and gas bombs at Palestinian fishing boats in the Al-Waha and As-Sudaniyya areas and near Beit Lahia, in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.
They added that the attack led to property damage but did not result in injuries among the Palestinian fishermen.
Furthermore, the navy abducted two fishermen in a separate attack in northern Gaza and confiscated their fishing gear before moving them to an unknown destination.
The attacks are part of constant Israeli violations against the Palestinians, especially the fishermen, farmers, shepherds, and workers in the besieged and impoverished Gaza Strip, and resulted in dozens of casualties, including fatalities, in addition to severe property damage and the confiscation of many boats after abducting the fishermen.
In March of 2021, the Palestinian Interior Ministry in Gaza said Israeli mines were responsible for an explosion that led to the death of three fishermen.
