Palestinian on boat from Gaza killed by Israeli fire: army

JERUSALEM: A Palestinian was killed Sunday when Israeli forces opened fire on a boat from the Gaza Strip after it left a zone where Israel allows Palestinians to fish, officials said. A spokeswoman for the Israeli army said the boat “deviated from the designated fishing zone in the northern Gaza Strip.” Naval forces called on the boat to halt, then fired warning shots in the air before shooting toward it when the three people on board did not stop, the spokeswoman said. A severely wounded Palestinian later died from his wounds, she said.
