Gaza city: Israeli navy detained three Palestinian fishermen on Saturday off the coast of Gaza City.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, Israeli navy boats arrested three fishermen after destroying their fishing equipment off the coast of Gaza City. The incident is part of a larger pattern of actions by the Israeli navy, which deliberately targets fishermen off the coast of Gaza on a daily basis. These actions include shooting at fishermen, arresting them, and seizing their boats.
However, the situation has escalated since October 7, 2023, with the Israeli navy preventing fishermen from fishing altogether, executing many of them, and destroying all their boats. This has forced the fishermen to operate under extremely dangerous conditions as they try to meet their families' needs.
