Israeli naval forces opened fire on Palestinian fishermen off the coast of Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza Strip on Friday morning.
Locals said that no injuries were reported among fishermen.
Israeli military incursions inside the besieged Gaza Strip and near the “buffer zone," which lies on both land and sea sides of Gaza, have long been a near-daily occurrence.
The Israeli army also regularly detains and opens fire on unarmed Palestinian fishermen, shepherds, and farmers along the border areas if they approach the buffer zone, as the authorities have not made clear the precise area of the designated zone.
The practice has in effect destroyed much of the agricultural and fishing sector of the blockaded coastal enclave, which has been under an Israeli air, land, and sea blockade for 10 years.

A Palestinian youth was critically injured on Friday after being shot multiple times with live ammunition by Israeli forces in the central occupied West Bank city of Ramallah.
The young Palestinian man, whose identity remained unknown, reportedly attempted to stab an Israeli soldier with a knife, lightly injuring the soldier.
Video from Hayat TV shows Israeli soldiers firing two shots at the youth, causing him to fall to the ground.
Despite the Palestinian being clearly incapacitated, Israeli soldiers continued to fire at him, hitting him with at least one more bullet.
According to witnesses, Israeli soldiers continued firing around the young man in an attempt to prevent medics from reaching him.
Crews from the Palestinian Red Crescent managed to evacuate the young man to the Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah, where sources told Ma’an he was in critical condition and undergoing multiple surgeries.
Photos showed the young man wearing what appeared to be an explosive device, though it remained unclear if it was real or not.
Hundreds of Palestinians have been shot by Israeli forces near settlements and checkpoints in the West Bank for allegedly attempting to carry out stabbing and car-ramming attacks against Israeli forces and settlers.
Israeli forces routinely shoot Palestinians, oftentimes killing them, during these alleged attacks on Israelis, even if the Palestinian could be detained through nonlethal means. This Israeli practice has prompted rights groups to accuse Israel of carrying out extrajudicial executions on Palestinians.
