Gaza, Ramadan 20, 1436, Jul 7, 2015, SPA -- The Israeli navy on Tuesday arrested six Palestinian fishermen while sailing offshore the coast of Khan Younes, in the southern Gaza Strip, according to the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR). According to WAFA, PCHR said a number of Israeli naval boats opened fire at fishing boats from a distance before they sailed towards them and arrested six fishermen and seized three boats. No casualties were reported in the live fire attack. The six fishermen were identified as Kamal Abu Warda, 45, Ref’at Abu Warda, 21, Ref’at Zayed, 26, Medhat Zayed, 23, Ramadan Abu Warda, 37, and Mahmoud Abu Warda, 26. The attacks come despite of Israeli promises to ease restrictions on Palestinians’ access to both the sea and the border region near the unilaterally imposed buffer zone. Israeli naval boats routinely open fire at Palestinian fishermen sailing within the six-nautical-mile allowed zone for fishing as well as on farmlands along the borders, flagrantly violating the ceasefire deal. --SPA 18:06 LOCAL TIME 15:06 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
