GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Israeli naval forces detained two fishermen off Gaza Strip's southern coast on Thursday, witnesses said.
Israel's navy fired warning shots at Mahmoud and Ahmad Hassouna before detaining them off the coast of Rafah, locals said.
The two fishermen were taken to an unknown destination and their fishing boat was confiscated.
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.
The zone had been extended to six miles as part of an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire that ended an eight-day conflict between Israel and Hamas in November. more
