IMEMC 22 July -- Israeli navy ships opened live fire, on Tuesday at dawn,
on a number of Palestinian fishing boats in Beit Lahia, in the northern

one of the wounded, before towing a boat to the Ashdod Port. *Ahmad Ismael
Sharafi*, 20 years of age, was shot with a live round in the back, and
several rubber-coated metal bullets in his arm, and was moved to the Shifa
Medical Center in Gaza, suffering a moderate injury. The two kidnapped
fishers were released approximately at six in the evening, while one of
them was moved to a medical center for treatment of wounds resulting from
the Israeli attack, the Union for Agricultural Work Committees has
reported. On Monday evening, the navy attacked a fishing boat belonging to
