Gaza's agriculture ministry strongly condemned Israeli occupation forces for shooting at Palestinian fishermen off the coast of Gaza City on Monday morning, the Shehab Wire reported. The military fire targeted the workers as they conducted their daily fishing operations in waters adjacent to the city's shore.
The ministry issued the denunciation without releasing specific details about casualties or the extent of damage from the incident. Israeli forces have repeatedly opened fire on Palestinian fishermen working in Gaza's territorial waters throughout the ongoing conflict, with such incidents prompting regular protests from Palestinian civil authorities and fishing communities dependent on maritime livelihoods.
