Israeli naval forces opened fire on Palestinian fishermen operating in Gaza's coastal waters, wounding five people, the Ma'an news agency reported. The shooting occurred as the men were engaged in their work off the Palestinian enclave's shore.
The incident marks another military confrontation in waters where Palestinian fishing activity has repeatedly drawn fire from Israeli forces. Restrictions on Gaza's fishing zones and armed clashes between fishermen and the navy have persisted for years, limiting Palestinians' access to marine resources and livelihoods. The exact circumstances of Tuesday's incident and details on the condition of the wounded remain unclear.
