Israeli naval boats on Monday opened fire at fishermen off the coast of northern Gaza, residents said.
The incident occurred near the neighborhood of al-Sudaniyya, with the fishermen returning to shore for fear of arrest or having their vessels confiscated.
An Israeli army spokeswoman said she was looking into the incident.
On Sunday, residents said Israeli boats opened fire at fishermen in the early morning. No injuries were reported.
There are around 4,000 Palestinian fishermen in the coastal enclave, 90 percent of whom are poor according to a 2011 report by the International Committee of the Red Cross. more
