GAZA, (PIC)-- Israeli navy gunboats opened heavy machinegun fire at Palestinian fishing boats while at sea off the coast of Khan Younis and Rafah to the south of Gaza Strip on Saturday night. Source in the marine police told the PIC reporter that the gunboats also fired a number of projectiles at the fishing boats. They said that the fishermen returned to shore to avoid the shooting, adding that no casualties were reported. The attack fell in line with the constant targeting of those fishermen despite working in the limited area allowed for them to fish in Gaza waters.
