Gaza Strip, February 20, 2010 (Pal Telegraph)- Israeli gunships opened fire on Saturday at Palestinian fishing boats off the coasts of northern and southern Gaza Strip, but no casualties were reported.

Palestinian sources told KUNA that the gunships stationed out at sea, opposite Sudaniya , in north of Gaza, and Rafah, opened fire on the fishing boats, which headed back to bay to avoid damage.

No casualties were reported, but the boats were damaged, they said.

Palestinian fishing boats are targeted daily, as Israel claims that they exceed the three-mile fishing limit.

Meanwhile, Mazin Abu-Riyalah, Gazan fisherman, reported on the phone at 11:30 a.m. today that Israeli gunboats are firing towards fishermen and heir boats.
