A Palestinian fisherman has been proclaimed dead after he was admitted to hospital on Friday following an Israeli naval attack on his boat off the coast of Gaza.
The fisherman was along with his brother when the Israeli navy opened fire at them seriously wounding them, according to Palestinian medical sources and eyewitnesses.
Both sustained serious injuries during the deadly attack, but one of the brothers named Fahmi Abu Rayyash, 22, succumbed to his wounds and died later on the same days at night.
The Israeli navy prevents the Palestinian fishermen from fishing within an area more than three nautical miles, although the Oslo agreement stipulates 20 nautical miles for fishing.
