The Israeli occupation navy on Saturday morning kidnapped two Palestinian fishermen during their presence off the coast of Gaza City

Chief of the fishermen Nizar Ayyash told Quds Press that the brothers, Mohamed and Atef Abu Riyala, were kidnapped after Israeli naval forces opened machinegun fire near their fishing boat, which was also confiscated.

Ayyash added that the fishermen were working within four nautical miles from the shore of Gaza City.

Meanwhile, Israeli soldiers opened fire at a group of Palestinian citizens in a border area to the east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, with no reported injuries.
