KHAN YOUNIS, Israeli navy units today attacked boats of Palestinian fishermen sailing several nautical miles across from the Khan Younis coast in the south of the Gaza Strip and forced to return to the shore, according to one of the fishermen.

He told WAFA that the Israeli navy opened fire at their boats when they were sailing three nautical miles in the sea and therefore they rushed back to the shore to avoid being hit.

Fishing is a main source of income for Gaza, but often the Israeli navy, which blockades the Gaza sea, prevents the fishermen from earning a living.
