"Israeli" naval forces have sunk a Palestinian fishing boat off the coast of the seized Gaza Strip on Thursday.


"Three "Israeli" naval gunboats opened heavy machine fire on a Palestinian fishing boat off the shores of the central Gaza Strip city of Deir al-Balah," head of Gaza’s Fishermen Union, Nizar Ayyash said.

"[Five fishermen] tried to steer the boat towards Deir al-Balah, but it eventually sank due to heavy fire from the "Israeli" gunboats," he said.

He added that the five Palestinian fishermen who were on board the boat had managed to jump into the water and swim to shore.

Meanwhile, the "Israeli" army has not yet commented on the incident.
