Israeli Navy boats fired at Palestinian Authority (PA) fishing boats that approached Israeli territorial waters Sunday morning, according to sources cited by the Chinese news agency Xinhua. The shelling and gunshots at the boat lasted 10 minutes and caused damage to boats but no injuries.
Gaza sources accused Israel of breaking the month-old temporary ceasefire, and Hamas has threatened to declare the truce null and void and to resume attacking Israel. "We will look for a new stance regarding the lull," the Izz ad-Deen al-Kassam Brigades stated.
In a separate incident, IDF soldiers arrested a Gaza Arab who infiltrated from Gaza into fields adjacent to Kibbutz Alumim.
