Al-Qassam Website - The Israeli occupation naval forces opened fire on Tuesday on Palestinian fishing boats sailing off the northern coast of the besieged Gaza Strip.

Local sources reported that machine guns mounted on Israeli occupation's war boats opened live fire and fired tear gas at fishing boats sailing within a few nautical miles off the northern shores of Gaza. No injuries were reported.

The Israeli occupation navy regularly attacks Palestinian fishermen off the coast of the blockaded Gaza Strip on a daily basis, forcing them out of the sea.
