https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/42d712e9-2676-4f05-a490-623fe1c6e246 Footage has emerged showing Israeli naval boats opening fire on a fisherman off the coast of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, with bystanders fearing he had been killed as the gunfire landed dangerously close. Miraculously, he managed to row away from the area, escaping death. Fishermen in Gaza are restricted by Israel to a naval “fishing zone” usually limited to 6–15 nautical miles (about 11–28 km) from the shore. Israeli forces frequently patrol these waters, and fishermen face constant risks while working near the boundaries. Human rights groups have repeatedly condemned such attacks, emphasising that many Palestinians rely on fishing for survival amid ongoing restrictions on food and aid entering the Strip.
