Two Palestinian fishermen were detained by Israeli naval forces on Sunday off the coast of the northern besieged Gaza Strip.
Nizar Ayyash, the boat captain, told Ma'an that Israeli naval forces detained two fishermen as they were working along the northern Gaza Strip coast and were taken to an unknown location.
The two detained fishermen were identified as Owrans al-Sultan and Hassan al-Sultan.
Ayyash added that Israeli naval forces also confiscated their fishing boat.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces opened fire towards Palestinian shepherds, north of Rafah district in southern Gaza. Reasons for the shooting remained unknown.
No injuries were reported among the shepherds.
The Israeli army regularly detains and opens fire at unarmed Palestinian fishermen, shepherds, and farmers along the border areas if they approach the unilaterally declared buffer zone.
The practice has in effect destroyed much of the agricultural and fishing sector of the blockaded coastal enclave, which has been under an Israeli air, land, and sea blockade for nearly 12 years.
Israeli human rights group B’Tselem recently concluded that Israel’s Gaza closure and “harassment of fishermen” have been “destroying Gaza’s fishing sector,” with 95 percent of fishermen living below the poverty line.
The Palestinian Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC) issued its annual report for 2017 showing Israeli attacks against Palestinian fishermen in the besieged Gaza Strip, highlighting that “these attacks deny fishermen from practicing their fishing work and accessing their livelihood resources.”

Israeli authorities, on Wednesday, decided to seize about 100 dunams (24.7 acres) of agricultural land belonging to the Palestinian village of al-Khader, south of Bethlehem, said a local activist.
Hassan Breijah, Coordinator of Anti-Wall and Settlement Committee, said that the so-called Israeli Civil Administration has approved the seizure of 100 dunams of agricultural land in Ein al-Qassis from western al-Khader and their reallocation for settlement construction.
He explained, according to WAFA, that the purpose is to build new settler units to expand the illegal Israeli settlement of Neve Daniel, which is built on the villagers’ lands.
Israel has also approved the construction of 650 new settler units for the illegal settlement of Beit El, close to the central West Bank city of Ramallah.
Between 500,000 and 600,000 Israelis live in Jewish-only settlements across occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank, in violation of international law.
All settlements across the West Bank are illegal under international law, particularly article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which establishes that the occupying power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.
The “Civil Administration” is the name Israel gives to the body administering its military occupation of the West Bank.

A Palestinian taxi driver, in his sixties, turned himself in to the Palestinian Authority on Thursday evening after the vehicle he was driving hit an Israeli settler. The settler, 42-year-old Hava Rozin, died from her injuries.
After turning himself in, the taxi driver said that he initially fled the scene because he was terrified after he hit the Israeli settler that he would be shot. But after leaving the settler road, he immediately went to the Palestinian Authority in Nablus to report what had happened and turn himself in.
Israeli authorities have, on a number of occasions, shot on site Palestinian drivers who have had traffic accidents with Israeli vehicles, so his fear was not without basis.
The Israeli Intelligence Service Shin Bet announced early Friday morning that there was no evidence that this was a terror attack, saying instead that it was clear that it was a traffic accident.
Nevertheless, dozens of Israeli settlers set off throughout the night into Palestinian areas to carry out ‘revenge attacks’. Gangs of Israeli colonial settlers hurled stones and empty bottles at Palestinian cars in several areas, including near Yitzhar colony, Huwwara and Za’tara military roadblocks, causing damage to more than 40 Palestinian cars, and several injuries.
They also attacked several homes in Jaloud village, and closed many main roads in Nablus governorate, in addition to burning a Palestinian car, owned by Mohammad Issa Makhlouf, in Orif village.
