Israeli navy gunboats opened heavy machinegun fire at Palestinian fishing boats off the coast of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, on Tuesday night.
Sources in the marine police told the PIC reporter that the incident took place half a mile off Rafah harbor.
They said that the shooting was coupled with the firing of flare bombs, adding that no casualties were reported.
