A Palestinian fisherman sustained wounds on Monday morning after he was shot by Israeli machinegun fire off Gaza’s northern shore.
Head of the Palestinian Fishermen’s Union, Nizar Ayyash, told the Quds Press that a flock of Israeli gunboats unleashed heavy barrages of machinegun shots on Palestinian fishing vessels setting sail north of Gaza Sea.
26-year-old Palestinian fisherman Mohamed Ziad Bakr sustained moderate injuries in his hand after spates of gunfire hit his fishing boat.
A Cairo-brokered ceasefire deal struck on August 26 between the Israeli occupation and Palestinian resistance factions stipulated that Israel would immediately expand the fishing zone off Gaza's coast, allowing Palestinian fishermen to sail as far as six nautical miles from shore, and would continue to expand the area gradually.
Since then, there have been widespread reports of Israeli forces routinely opening fire at fishermen within the allotted limits, and the zone has never been expanded.
Ongoing targeting of Gazan fishermen, who put out to sea since the break of the day to seek a living for their children at the blockaded coastal strip, reportedly comes at a time when economic growth is near frozen and poverty lines have hit unprecedented levels.

A number of Palestinians, including minors, were nabbed on Sunday while others, including a 10-year-old girl, choked on tear gas in an arbitrary mass-abduction campaign launched by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) across the West Bank at predawn hours.
Sources based in the southern West Bank city of Bethlehem said the IOF summoned two Palestinian youths, from Beit Fajar town, for interrogation at the Etzion camp after having stormed their family homes before daybreak.
The same sources identified the two youngsters as Anwar Hussein Taqatqa and Abdul Rahman Salama Balu.
The IOF soldiers further ravaged Palestinian civilian homes in Bethlehem’s eastern town of Tekoa shortly before they rolled into the nearby Yabad town and nabbed the 14-year-old Amer Abdul Rahman Ba’jawi and the 16-year-old Sanad Khedr Masharqa.
Al-Khalil based sources, meanwhile, said dozens of Palestinian civilians choked on tear gas canisters heavily unleashed by the IOF during a raid in Beit Ummar town, to the north of the city.
The heavily-armed IOF troops also showered Palestinian homes with torrents of tear gas grenades. 10-year-old Rahaf Ali Awad and 60-year-old Meriam Abu Ayash sustained critical breathing disorders in the process due to heavy gas inhalation and were rushed to a local clinic for urgent treatment.
Earlier, afternoon Saturday, a state of panic overwhelmed Palestinian children and women after IOF patrols rolled into Tarqumiya, to the west of al-Khalil, in such a remarkably violent manner.
