GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Israeli military vehicles crossed into the northern Gaza Strip for surveillance activities on Monday, witnesses told Ma'an.
The limited incursion took place in a border region near Beit Lahiya, the witnesses said.
Separately, Israeli warships opened fire at Palestinian fishermen off the coast near al-Sudaniyya west of Beit Lahiya.
No injuries were reported, but the fishermen fled and were unable to continue fishing.
The Gaza Strip has been under a severe blockade imposed by Israel since 2006.
Palestinian fishermen are only allowed to go 3 nautical miles from Gaza's shore, even though Israeli-Palestinian agreement previously settled on 20 nautical miles.
Israeli naval forces frequently harass Palestinian fishermen who near the 3-mile limit, as well as those inside the zone. more
