Gaza – Ma’an – A Palestinian fisherman was injured as Israeli naval boats opened fire on the man’s craft Palestinian medical sources said on Friday.

The man was in the Al-Mawasi area off the coast of southern Gaza, and was transferred first to the Rafah Hospital, then on to Khan Younis for treatment.

Israeli ships are deployed off Gaza shores and have shot at civilian areas on land and at sea for months before, during and following the Gaza war.
