Palestinian Fishermen Under Attack By Israelis

 Even simple fishermen are being attacked by Israelis.(http://www.imemc.org/article/70946)

According to the Palestinian News and Info Agency (WAFA) Israeli Navy boats opened fire on some fishing boats just 4 miles from Gaza's shore.The attack was to harass and chase the ships back to their port  This is however in violation of the ceasefire agreements.

These attacks have happened a number of times and have happened in order to try to stop the Gaza fishermen from fishing.  With the harassment and less fishing occurring the Palestinians are able to catch less fish in order to provide for their families and towns.  
On Saturday, March 7 two Palestinian fishermen were kidnapped and one was shot and killed because of Israeli Navy.
