Egyptian naval forces on Friday shot and injured a Palestinian fisherman that allegedly entered Egyptian waters south of Gaza, officials in Egypt said.
Egypt's navy spotted a Palestinian boat with two fishermen crossing into its territorial waters off the coast near Sheikh Zuweid in northern Sinai.
Naval forces demanded that it stop, but the fishermen continued to flee the area and Egyptian forces opened fire.
Ihab Zuhei Hassan al-Amuri, 35, was shot in the stomach while the other unidentified fisherman was arrested and taken for interrogation.
In December, Israeli media claimed that a fisherman it detained from Gaza was smuggling weapons to Hamas from Sinai using his fishing boat. more
