GAZA, Jan 28 (KUNA) - Israeli military boats opened heavy machinegun fire
against Palestinian fishermen sailing off the coasts of Rafah, southern Gaza
Strip, Palestinian sources said.
No casualties were reported, while the fishermen were forced to sail back
to the shores to aviod injury, they added.
The Israeli vessels are in constant attack of Palestinian fishing boats
under the pretext that the boats cross the three-mile mark.

smuggle weapons and bombs and take them to Gaza.(end)
