GAZA (Dispatches) – Zionist troops have arrested five Palestinian fishermen aboard a fishing boat off Gaza’s southern coast, according to the military today, Anadolu Agency reports. In a statement on its Twitter account, the army claimed the boat “exceeded the permitted fishing zone south of Gaza in a security violation.” The occupying regime allows Palestinians in Gaza to fish at a distance of only 15 nautical miles. A military source told the private Israeli Channel 12 that the five fishermen were taken for interrogation. There are 1,300 fishing boats along the Gaza Strip operated by around 4,000 fishermen, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture.
