“Israeli” warships bombard Gaza fishing boat
Source: Hizbollah Site Staff, 01-09-2009
According to Nizar Ayyash, head of the Fishermen's union, the "Israeli" occupation navy opened fire on fishermen from the besieged Gaza Strip on Monday, causing one boat to burst into flames.
The boat was targeted off Beit Lahia in northern Gaza by the "Israeli" navy which enforces a blockade on the Palestinian territory and regularly targets Palestinian fishermen who venture off the coast ever since the military unilaterally declared waters more than five kilometers from the shore a no-fishing zone in January 2009.

An "Israeli" occupation military spokeswoman confirmed the navy opened fire at fishing boats after what she claimed that their crews ignored warning shots and orders to turn back.
"Israel's" navy has about 3,500 fishermen struggle to ply their trade off Gaza's 40-kilometer Mediterranean coastline in spite of the "Israeli" blockade.
