Israel Detains 5 Palestinian Fishermen Near Gaza Coast

Israeli naval forces detained five Palestinian fishermen off Gaza City, including three brothers from the same family, after firing on their boats. Despite a ceasefire with Hamas, Israel continues to restrict fishing in Gaza’s waters, impacting the livelihoods of fishermen amid a collapsing economy. The ongoing conflict has resulted in nearly 69,000 deaths and over 170,600 injuries since October 2023, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. The ceasefire plan aims for a partial withdrawal and rebuilding efforts in Gaza.
