Israeli Gunboats Open Fire at Palestinian Fishing Boats off Coast of Deir Al Balah

  At approximately 8:30 am on Sunday 10 June 2012, Israeli gunboats opened fire at a group of ten Palestinian fishing boats off the coast opposite Deir Al Balah.
  The fishermen were only two and a half kilometers from the coast when the IOF opened fire on them.
  The IOF had opened fire at Palestinian fishing boats in the same area at approximately 6:00 am the day before, Saturday 9 June 2012.
  No casualties or injuries were reported in the two incidents, but the firing frightened the fishermen and they sailed to land immediately.
