Israeli navy ships attacked, Thursday morning, several Palestinian fishing boats in Gaza, wounding three fishermen.

Eyewitnesses said the navy ships chased many Palestinian fishing boats near the shore of Gaza city and fired rubber-coated steel bullets at them.

The Palestinian Fishermen Syndicate in Gaza said the navy injured three fishermen before being rushed to the Shifa Medical Center in Gaza city.

In related news, Israeli soldiers abducted a farmer on his land near the perimeter fence, east of the al-Boreij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.

Earlier this month, the navy injured two fishermen and abducted two others in separate attacks in Gaza territorial waters in the coastal region.

The attacks are part of constant Israeli violations against the Palestinians, especially the fishermen, farmers, shepherds, and workers in the besieged and impoverished Gaza Strip, and resulted in dozens of casualties, including fatalities, in addition to severe property damage and the confiscation of many boats after abducting the fishermen.

In March of last year, 2021, the Palestinian Interior Ministry in Gaza said Israeli mines were responsible for an explosion that led to the death of three fishermen.
