Israeli soldiers kidnapped, on Wednesday at night, six Palestinian fishermen in Palestinian territorial waters, near the As-Sudaniyya area, northwest of Gaza City.
Local sources reported that several Israeli Navy ships surrounded three small Palestinian fishing boats before opening fire at them and ordering the fishermen to remove their clothes and swim towards the navy boats.
The kidnapped fishermen were identified as Fadel Saleh Abu Warda, Hazem Saleh Abu Warda, Mahmoud Mohammad Abu Warda, Mohammad Mata Khalla, No’man As-Saksak, and Abed Sa’dallah.
The Israeli Navy repeatedly attacks Palestinian fishing boats, and kidnaps fishermen in addition to causing serious damage to their boats; dozens of casualties were reported since Israel imposed its illegal siege on Gaza in June 2006.
Israel restricts the fishing area to Palestinian fishermen in Gaza to only three nautical miles. Restrictions on the fishing zone are of considerable significance to Palestinian livelihood. more
