GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Israeli forces detained two fishermen off the coast of the Gaza Strip and confiscated their boat overnight Thursday.
Israeli naval forces detained Khader al-Saeidi and Hassan Murad off the northwestern coast of the enclave, said Mahfouth Kabariti, head of an association for fishermen in Gaza.
The forces also took their boat, Kabariti told Ma'an.
An Israeli military spokeswoman told Ma'an that two fishermen were taken for questioning because they deviated from the designated fishing zone.
In May, the Israeli government re-extended Gaza's fishing zone to six miles, after reducing it in March following a rocket attack from the coastal territory. more
