GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Israeli forces on Tuesday detained fishermen working off the coast of the Gaza Strip.
Local official Mahfouth al-Kabareeti told Ma'an that Israeli naval forces detained Nader Yousef Abu Simaan, 22, and his brother Hasan at sea and confiscated their equipment. The brothers, from al-Shati refugee camp, were fishing within the area designated by Israel, he added.
An Israeli military spokeswoman said forces detained fishermen from Gaza because they deviated from the designated fishing area.
They were transferred to the custody of security forces, she said. She could not immediately specify how many fishermen were detained. more
