Israeli Navy Fires on Boats, Kills Palestinian Fisherman

HeadlineMar 09, 2015

The Israeli Navy has killed a Palestinian fisherman after opening fire on boats off the coast of Gaza. The Israeli military said the boats strayed outside the boundaries of the naval blockade and failed to heed calls to halt. Saeed Abu Reyala, the brother of the slain fisherman, described what happened.

Saeed Abu Reyala: “What happened with us is that we went, like anybody else in the world, to work in fishing. An Israeli boat came and opened fire on us. They shot Tawfiq Abu Reyala. They shot our machinery and shot him in his waist, and he died.”
