GAZA CITY (Ma‘an) 18 Sept -- Israeli naval forces opened fire off the coast
of northern Gaza late Wednesday, injuring a Palestinian fisherman on a
beach, locals said. Yousef Zayif, 70, was hit by live fire while waiting
for his sons on the shore near al-Sudaniya. Medics said he was moderately
wounded. An Israeli army spokeswoman said she was "looking into the
incident". On Sunday, an Israeli warship opened fire at Palestinian
fishermen off the coast of Gaza City's al-Shati refugee camp, the speaker
of the Union of Gaza Fishermen said. Nizar Ayyash told Ma‘an that Israeli
gunboats "have been firing at fishermen every day since the ceasefire
agreement was signed." He also said that Israeli naval forces have detained
six Palestinian fishermen since the ceasefire agreement in late August.
