Israeli navy gunboats opened heavy machinegun fire at Palestinian fishing boats off the southern Gaza Strip coast of Khan Younis on Saturday morning.
Nizar Ayyash, the head of the Palestinian fishing syndicate, told the PIC reporter that the Israeli gunboats opened heavy fire at the fishing boats while working in the permissible area.
He said that gunboats fire at Palestinian fishermen on daily basis even if they were fishing in the three nautical miles radius allowed by the Israeli occupation authorities.
