Israeli navy gunboats opened heavy machinegun fire at Palestinian fishing boats in Gaza sea Saturday morning.
Palestinian sources told Quds Press that a number of Israeli gunboats opened fire at the Palestinian fishing boats in Gaza sea and off the northern Gaza Strip coast.
The sources said that the heavy shooting was focused in al-Sudaniyah district in northern Gaza Strip and in Ejlin area to the west of Gaza city.
The fishermen were forced to return to shore due to intensive firing without completing their work. No casualties were reported among the fishermen, the sources added.
The gunfire attack is the latest in a series of breaches of the ceasefire agreement signed in Cairo last August between the Palestinian resistance and Israel.
Moreover,  Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) arrested two Palestinians for passing the security fence of the blockaded Gaza Strip on Saturday morning.
Local sources told Quds Press that an Israeli military force rounded up in the morning two Gazan civilians when they passed the security fence to the east of the Israeli-besieged enclave.
Israeli sources revealed that the arrested men were taken to the Shin Bet headquarters for investigation.
Sneaking into the lands of 1948 Occupied Palestine by Gazan people has recently increased. About one hundred young men,  who try to cross the border in search of work, have been arrested since last November.
