Israeli navy boats and a navy chopper opened automatic fire, on Tuesday morning, on a number of Palestinian fishing boats close to the shore in the al-Waha area, northwest of the Gaza Strip, causing damage but no injuries.

Eyewitnesses said the navy ships, and a navy helicopter opened fire close to a number of fishing boats, before targeting the boats with several live rounds.

They added that the navy ships kept firing close to the fishing boats until they reached the Gaza shore.

The attack is the tenth documented Israeli violation of the cease-fire agreement, reached a month ago, and all previous ceasefire deals mediated between Tel Aviv and armed resistance groups in the Gaza Strip.
