Israeli navy forces kidnapped a Palestinian fisherman after attacking his boat off the coast of Gaza at dawn Saturday, local sources said.

Sources in the fishermen syndicate said that Israeli gunboats fired at and chased Palestinian fishing boats off the coast of Gaza.

They said that the gunboats kidnapped a fisherman on board one of those fishing boats after controlling it.

The Israeli navy systematically targets Palestinian fishermen while working at sea. The navy often fires at the fishing boats, confiscate them, and arrest those on board.
