A Palestinian fisherman was injured by Israeli gunfire in the Mediterranean, northwest of the Gaza Strip, early on Tuesday.
According to the Fishermen Union Committees in the besieged enclave, Jafar Bakr is in a moderate condition after he was hit by a rubber bullet by Israel's army, and was transferred to Al-Shifa hospital for treatment.
Israel's military maintains a naval blockade on the Gaza Strip, severely restricting the movement of fishermen. The policy impacts the livelihoods of thousands of Palestinians.
