‘Israel’ Tightens Gaza Fishing Curbs Fearing New Fire Balloons

By Staff, Agencies

The ‘Israeli’ occupation entity announced Wednesday that it had tightened restrictions on Palestinian fishing off the blockaded Gaza Strip after more balloons fitted with firebombs were floated from the enclave into the occupied territories.

The zone was reduced to a maximum of 10 nautical miles from 15, COGAT, the ‘Israeli’ war ministry unit that oversees such regulations, said.

The move came just days after the Zionist regime restored the fishing limit to the 15 nautical mile maximum after a previous cut in response to fire balloons last week.

Palestinians in Gaza have frequently floated balloons fitted with firebombs over the border aimed at ‘Israeli’ targets.
