Jenny Linnell, from Devon, who is volunteering as a human rights observer for the International Solidarity Movement in Gaza, sent through this story.
On the morning of January 27, a Palestinian fishing boat left Gaza City port in one of the first attempts to work after the recent onslaught on Gaza, and the following ceasefire announced by Israel. While fishing in Palestinian territorial waters, about one mile off the northern Gaza Strip shore, it was attacked by an Israeli gunboat.
The fishing boat was sprayed with bullets of different types. As it can be seen in the images taken by ISM volunteers, upon the return of the fishing boat to the Gaza port, Israeli soldiers were mostly targeting the wheelhouse. Fortunately, the captain managed to survive, nobody was injured but the boat suffered serious damages.
