The Israeli forces then seized fishing equipment including 120 fishing nets that belong to the following Palestinian fishermen: Tarek Zeyad Hassan, 33, his brother Ameer, 32, and Mohammed Mahdi Abu Riyala, 17. All of them are Gaza residents. No casualties were reported, but the fishermen had to escape ashore in fear of further Israeli harassment.
