Israeli navy arrests five fishermen off coast of Gaza City

GAZA, Nov. 05 (YPA) – The Israeli occupation navy arrested five fishermen off the coast of Gaza City on Tuesday.

According to Zakaria Bakr, coordinator of the Fishermen’s Committees Union in Gaza, Israeli naval vessels detained the five fishermen while they were practicing fishing at sea off the coast of Gaza City.

It is worth noting that the occupation navy deliberately targets fishermen in the sea off Gaza daily by firing on them, arresting them, and seizing their boats. However, since 7 October 2023, the fishermen have been banned from practicing fishing, many of them have been executed, and all the boats destroyed, forcing them to fish under extremely dangerous conditions in order to provide for their families.
