Israeli naval forces launched fresh attacks on Palestinian fishermen off the coast of northern Gaza Strip on Saturday morning.
No injuries were reported.
On Friday evening, the Israeli forces released three fishermen that had been detained off the coast of Rafah City in the southern Gaza Strip earlier Friday.
A speaker of the Gaza fishermen's union Nizar Ayyash told Ma’an news agency that the fourth fisherman was expected to be released later on Friday night.
Ayyash highlighted that the fourth fisherman was injured after Israeli naval boats opened fire at two fishing boats, which were also seized by Israeli forces. Witnesses said the incident took place within the designated nine nautical mile fishing zone.
A previous report on Friday mentioned that there had been no injuries among the fishermen.
Gaza fishermen are detained and fired on by Israeli naval forces almost on a daily basis under the pretext that they sail beyond the designated fishing zone.
The fishing zone was extended last week to nine nautical miles from six nautical miles off some parts of the Gaza Strip coast, in spite of the fact that the fishing zone was technically set to 20 nautical miles according to the Oslo Accords signed between Israel and the Palestinian Authority in the early 1990s.
