Israeli occupation navy boats fired, automatic weapons and poison gas canisters towards Palestinian fishermen's boats in the northern Gaza Strip. The Palestinian News Agency (WAFA) stated that the Israeli occupation navy, stationed at sea, fired their heavy machine guns and poison gas bombs towards Palestinian fishermen boats operating in the seas of Al-Sudania and Al-Waha. The news agency pointed out that the fishermen were forced to withdraw from the sea, in order to preserve their lives, especially since a number of them were martyred and injured over the past years by the occupation navy's bullets. The occupation navy targets on a daily basis the fishermen working in the Gaza Strip sea, and deprives them of obtaining their livelihood in peace and security. At the same time, the occupation forces arrested a Palestinian young man from the town of Silwan, south of Al-Aqsa Mosque. Local sources reported, the occupation forces arrested a young man after beating him in the "Al-Ain Street" area.
