JERUSALEM (AL-QUDS) - An "Israeli" gunboat opened fire on a Palestinian fishing boat the Gaza Strip, wounding two of its crew, a Palestinian security source said on Friday, adding that a third fisherman was missing.
An "Israeli" army spokeswoman claimed the gunboat had fired warning shots when the fishing boat was spotted near "Israel`s" territorial waters on Thursday but she said the "Israeli" naval crew reported they had not hit anyone.
"Warning shots were fired in the air and at the boat, but the naval crew reported that nobody had been hit and that they continued to fish after the shooting had stopped," she claimed.
Hospital staff in Gaza said the two men received minor injuries. Security officials claimed a search for the missing fisherman would be carried out after first light.
