At approximately 5:00 pm on Tuesday, 23 August 2016, Israeli gunboats opened fire at on Palestinian fishing boats west of Al Waha resort, near Gaza’s maritime borders with Israel, west of Beit Lahiya, in the North Gaza district.
According to Al Mezan's field investigations, the Palestinian fishing boats were about 2,000 meters away from the illuminated buoys demarcating the permitted fishing line to the north. Israeli boats surrounded one Palestinian fishing boat but it managed to escape. Other fishermen who were in the area abandoned their work for the day, and sailed back to the shore immediately, a reflection of menace associated with Israel’s presence.
