A Palestinian fisherman was wounded on Friday afternoon by bullets fired from an Israeli occupation gunboat while fishing at sea within the three mile limit imposed by occupation.

Spokesman for the emergency services, Adham Abu Selmeyya, told PIC that the 45-year-old fisherman had a bullet wound to each of his feet as a result of Israeli occupation gunboats opening fire at fishing boats in the sea of Gaza.

Abu Selmeyya said that the wounded man was taken to Shifa hospital for treatment and described his wounds as moderate.

Israeli occupation navy targets Palestinian fishermen along the Gaza cost daily in an attempt to deny them earning a living for them and their families.
