Israeli navy ships fired, on Monday evening, dozens of live ammunition and gas bombs at Palestinians, and fishing boats, in the al-Waha Beach area, northwest of the Gaza Strip, wounding 49 Palestinians, including one journalist.

The Palestinians Health Ministry said the navy attacked dozens of Palestinians, holding a nonviolent activity calling for lifting the illegal Israeli siege on Gaza, and at many boats that tried to sail as part of the protests.

Dr. Ashraf al-Qedra, the spokesperson of the Health Ministry in Gaza, said the navy injured 49 Palestinians with live fire and gas bombs.

He added that ten of the wounded were rushed to hospitals in the coastal enclave, and the rest received treatment by medics at the scene.

The navy also fired live rounds at Palestinian journalists, wounding one identified as Atiya Hijazi.
