At app. 10am Monday 15 December 2008, Israeli naval vessels opened fire at a Palestinian fishing boat at Beit Lahia coast, northern the Gaza Strip. The two fishermen aboard the boat were ordered to abandon their boat and swim towards the north-Gaza border where they were arrested. The boat was also detained. Al Mezan knew that the two fishermen were Wa'il and Jihad Abu Riyaleh; both residents of the Al Shati (Beah) refugee camp in Gaza. The arrest comes in the context of IOF's enforcing of a de fact ban of fishing within a zone that extends for one nautical mile south to the border in north Gaza. The ban has been enforced by using extremely violent means.
