The Israeli occupation navy on Thursday fired live ammunition at Palestinian fishing boats in the northern waters of Gaza off the shore of Beit Lahia, with no reported casualties

Head of the fishermen committees Zakariya Bakr said that Israeli gunboats chased in the morning fishing boats off the coast of Beit Lahia, north of Gaza, amid intensive machinegun fire.

Bakr added that naval forces also fired three projectiles into the sea near some fishing boats, forcing them to go ashore.

Luckily, none of the fishermen was hurt in the attack.

In recent days, the Israeli navy escalated its attacks on Palestinian fishermen in Gaza waters.
