GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Israeli warships on Tuesday opened fire at fishermen off the coast of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, in an apparent violation of an agreed-upon three-day ceasefire, a union official said.
Nizar Ayyash, spokesman for Gaza's fishermen union, told Ma'an that a number of Palestinian fishermen were near the shore when Israeli forces shot at them with machine guns.
No injuries were reported.
Ayyash said Israeli naval forces had been preventing fishermen from fishing in the area, even within the "authorized fishing zone."
An Israeli army spokeswoman did not immediately return calls seeking comment. more
