| 2023-08-28 |
Smugglers, ahoy! [AlAhram] Israeli naval vessels escalated their attacks against Paleostinian fishing boats off the northern coast of the Gazoo...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... Strip on Sunday, according to the Paleostinian News Agency (WAFA). The Israeli navy fired live rounds and tear gas canisters toward Paleostinian fishing boats operating off the al-Sudaniya coast in northern Gaza, forcing the fishermen to stop fishing, according to a WAFA correspondent. Over the weekend, according to local sources, Israeli ships fired live rounds, water cannons, and concussion grenades at Paleostinian fishermen navigating 3-4 nautical miles off the northern coast of Gaza. TARGETING LIVELIHOODS The Israeli navy routinely harasses and intercepts Paleostinian fishermen off the coasts of the Gaza Strip, accusing them of involvement in smuggling operations or breaching the designated fishing zone and thus depriving them of their only source of livelihood. Thousands of families among the 2.3 million inhabitants of the strip, who have been living under a brutal air, sea and land siege by Israel since 2006, depend on fishing in the Mediterranean as a sole source of income. The fishing zone authorized by Israel extends only to the densely fished regions between six and 15 nautical miles (approximately 11 to 28 kilometres) off Gaza's coast. In 2022, Israel seized 23 Paleostinian fishing boats - the highest number of boats seized by Israel since 2018 - after it accused owners of involvement in smuggling operations or breaching the fishing zone, according to the Paleostinian NGO Al Mezan. Despite formally withdrawing troops from Gaza in 2005, Israel continues to exercise direct control over Gaza's air and maritime space and retains control over six out of seven of the strip's land crossings.
