Israeli occupation forces arrested three Palestinian fishermen in the sea off the city of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip on Thursday, after opening fire at them while they were at sea.
Local sources said the detained fishermen are Waseem Ziyad Ayyash, Mahdi Ziyad Ayyash and Bilal Abu Tamama, noting that the occupation forces held them aboard one of their warships after intercepting their boat.
The sources added that the occupation forces threw five fishermen into the sea after interrogating them aboard the warship, while the rest of the fishermen remain detained on board, with their fate still unclear.
