Israeli occupation navy ships chased, on Saturday night,  Palestinian fishing boats and opened fire at them near the shore areas of the northern parts of the Gaza Strip.

Media sources said the occupying navy shops fired live rounds and flares and used water cannons in attacking the boats near the Al-Waha, As-Sudaniyya, Jabalia, and Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza.

The sources added that the attacks caused property damage and forced the Palestinians to leave the areas.

Earlier Saturday, Israeli occupation soldiers fired many automatic live rounds and gas bombs at Palestinian farmers and shepherds east of Khan Younis in the southern part of the besieged Gaza Strip.

On Saturday morning, Israeli occupation navy ships fired many live rounds at Palestinian fishing boats near the shore in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.

On Saturday dawn, the Israeli occupation forces fired missiles targeting two areas in Gaza city and the central part of the coastal region.

The attacks are part of constant Israeli occupation violations against the Palestinians, especially the fishermen, farmers, shepherds, and workers in the besieged and impoverished Gaza Strip, and resulted in dozens of casualties, including fatalities, in addition to severe property damage and the seizure of many boats after abducting the fishermen.
