On
Thursday 29 November 2012, Israeli naval vessels patrolling the Gaza
sea opened fire at Palestinian fishing boats off the coast opposite Al
Waha resort, northwest of Beit Lahiya, North Gaza. According to Al
Mezan’s field investigation, the IOF ships surrounded one Palestinian
fishing boat, opened fire at it, before they forced six fishermen to
take off their clothes and swim towards them. Al Mezan has identified
the names of fishermen as follows:
-
Ihab Jawad Baker, 36;
-
Mohammed Ziyad Baker, 32;
-
Ali Alaa’ Baker, 18;
-
Fahed Ziyad Baker, 38;
-
His sons Ziyad, 18; and Na’em 16.
Two
hours later, the IOF released all detained fishermen and returned their
boat to them after they had been damaged. In their affidavits to Al
Mezan, fishermen in the area who witnessed the incident stated that the
arrested fishermen were still within six nautical miles’ distance which
they have been allowed to fish in following the last ceasefire
agreement.
