I took this video this morning while I was in Soudania beach, north Gaza city.
At about 10.50 am the two boats of the Israeli navy surrounded 6 palestinians fishing boats.
Also, the Israeli navy shot at one of the palestinian boats with five bullets.
After 15 minutes, the fishermen escaped and went back to the port of Gaza city.
The
fishing zone was supposed to be 20 nautical miles, according to the
Jericho agreements from 1994 (under the Oslo accords), then it was
reduced to 12 miles, to 6 miles and now to 3 miles since January 2009.
The marine 'buffer zone' restricts Gazan fishermen from accessing 85% of
Gaza's fishing waters agreed to by Oslo.
Israel has been regularly attacking Palestinian fishermen within the purported 3 nautical mile fishing limit.
The
livelihood of many Gazans relies on fishing and Israel has been using
live ammunition and water cannons to prevent fishermen from doing their
work.
