Israel’s naval forces on Sunday morning kidnapped five Palestinian fishermen as they were working off the northern coast of the Gaza Strip.
Eyewitnesses told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that the Israeli navy rounded up five fishermen and confiscated their boats after intercepting them off the northern shores of Gaza.
The fishermen were identified as Naser Fadel, Hasan Fadel, Yaser Naser, Ahmed Naser and Fadel Naser. All of them are relatives from the family of Baker.
Israeli gunboats are around Gaza fishermen almost every day, harassing them, shooting at them, damaging their boats, and making arrests. Sometimes fishermen are injured or killed during gunfire attacks.
Under the 1993 Oslo accords, Palestinian fishermen are permitted to fish up to 20 nautical miles off the coast of Gaza, but since then Israel has kept reducing the fishing area gradually to a limit of three nautical miles as part of its blockade on Gaza.
Fishermen and human rights groups also say that, since the 2008-09 war in Gaza, the Israeli army has been regularly enforcing a limit even closer to the shore.
According to a local report, the Israeli navy detained last year, 2017, 39 fishermen and released them later.
14 of those fishermen who were arrested last year suffered bullet injuries when the navy opened fire at their boats. Another two fishermen were also killed.
Israeli navy attacks, detains 5 Gaza fishermen
Israeli naval forces attacked a number of Palestinian fishing boats and detained several of the fishermen on Sunday in the northern besieged Gaza Strip.
Nizar Ayyash, the boat captain, told Ma'an that the Israeli naval forces fired at the fishing boats and detained five Palestinian fishermen, who were taken to an unknown location.
Following the attack, Israeli naval forces confiscated the fishing boats and sailed them towards the Israeli Ashdod seaport.
Ayyash identified the detained fishermen as Hassan Fadel Baker and his brother, Nasser, along with his three sons Yasser, Ahmad, and Fadel Nasser Baker.
Israeli military incursions inside the besieged Gaza Strip and near the "buffer zone," which lies on both land and sea sides of Gaza, have long been a near-daily occurrence.
The Israeli army also regularly detains and opens fire on unarmed Palestinian fishermen, shepherds, and farmers along the border areas if they approach the buffer zone, as the authorities have not made clear the precise area of the designated zone.
The practice has in effect destroyed much of the agricultural and fishing sector of the blockaded coastal enclave, which has been under an Israeli air, land, and sea blockade for nearly 12 years.
According to Israeli human rights group B’Tselem, Israel’s Gaza siege and “harassment of fishermen” have been “destroying Gaza’s fishing sector,” with 95 percent of fishermen living below the poverty line.
The Palestinian Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC) issued its annual report for 2017 showing Israeli attacks against Palestinian fishermen in the besieged Gaza Strip, highlighting that “these attacks deny fishermen from practicing their fishing work and accessing their livelihood resources.”

Palestinian Prisoners and Former Prisoners' Affairs Committee published on Saturday documentation of testimonies by a number of Palestinian children during their detention by Israeli forces.
The documentations revealed that the children were subjected to systematic beatings and torture during and after their detention.
The committee's lawyer, Hiba Ighbarieh, said that three Palestinian children, who are currently held at Meggido Israeli prison, talked about what they underwent during and after their detention.
The first testimony was by 16-year-old, Munir Dari, from the Issawiyeh neighborhood in occupied East Jerusalem, who told Ighbarieh that while being detained, he was assaulted by several Israeli soldiers.
Dari said he was subjected to beating and cursing while at the Russian Compound detention center in western Jerusalem, in an attempt to force him to confess to the charges pressed against him.
The second testimony, by Fahd Qeisieh, 17, also from Issawiyeh, revealed that he was beaten following clashes with Israeli forces; he said that an Israeli policeman "tackled him and dragged him to a police car where another officer stepped on his back, while two others were violently beating him as he was laying on the ground."
Qeisieh said that the beating continued at the Russian Compound detention center where he was hit with a stick on his face, hands, legs and back while he was forced to kneel.
Firas Masri, 17, was detained at an Israeli military checkpoint in the northern West Bank district of Qalandiya, where he was severely beaten by several Israeli soldiers.
Masri was thrown on a ground covered with gravel, beaten on his head and back giving him injuries and bruises; he was also verbally abused; he was then blindfolded, handcuffed and dragged on the ground for a long distance before being thrown into an Israeli military vehicle.
Defense for Children International reported that "Israel is the only country in the world that automatically prosecutes children in military courts that lack basic and fundamental fair trial guarantees."
DCI also reported that since 2000, at least 8,000 Palestinian children have been detained and prosecuted in an Israeli military detention system infamous for the systematic mistreatment and torture of Palestinian children.
The majority of Palestinian children are detained from their homes in the occupied West Bank during predawn raids by heavily armed Israeli soldiers.
Following their detention, children arrive at an interrogation center without an adult present, sleep deprived and often beaten. Israeli interrogations consist of physical and verbal abuse, forcing the children to confess to any crime Israel charges them with.
Most of the detained Palestinian children are charged with stone throwing.
According to prisoners rights group Addameer, there are 270 Palestinian child prisoners being held in Israeli prisons, of whom 50 are under the age of 16.

Israeli forces chased Palestinian shepherds and detained one while they were herding their livestock in fields near Yatta City in the southern West Bank district of Hebron on Saturday.
Coordinator of a local popular committee against the separation wall and settlements, Rateb al-Jbour, told the Palestinian Authority (PA)-owned news agency Wafa that Israeli forces chased after shepherds in the Masafer Yatta area fields before they detaining one.
Al-Jbour said that Israeli forces claim that the fields are under a military training zone and therefore prevent shepherds from entering the area in an attempt to force Palestinian residents out of the area for the benefit of settlement construction.
Around 3,000 Israeli settlers live in illegal Jewish-only settlements in the Yatta region, according to the Applied Research Institute Jerusalem.
The South Hebron Hills, known locally as Masafer Yatta, lie almost entirely in Area C, the 62 percent of the West Bank under full Israeli civil and security control since the 1993 Oslo Accords.
Masafer Yatta residents were expelled at the time of the establishment of a firing zone in the 1970s and were eventually allowed back following a long court battle, but are under the constant threat of being expelled or seeing their homes demolished.

Palestinian writer Lama Khater has been exposed for over 17 days to harsh pressures by Israeli interrogators in Ashkelon jail to force her to make certain confessions.
According to the Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS), Khater has been interrogated intensively while being tied to a chair for 20 hours every day since her detention in July 24.

The Israeli prison service is refusing to allow a wounded Palestinian prisoner to undergo important surgery or provide him with appropriate medical care.
The prisoner, Azmi Annafaa, suffers from a bullet injury in his jaw and thus needs surgical intervention to repair his face, according to his father.
Annafaa, from Jenin, was injured in his face in 2015 when Israeli soldiers opened fire at his car near Za’atara checkpoint, south of Nablus city.
He was accused at the time of intentionally ramming his car into a group of Israeli soldiers at the checkpoint and sentenced later to 20 years in jail.

Palestinian political prisoner, Anas Ibrahim Shadeed, 22, has suspended hunger strike, which lasted for 22 days, after reaching an agreement with the Israeli Prison Authority to end his Administrative Detention and release him on December 19, 2018.
His brother, Abdul-Majid, said Anas, from Doura town southwest of Hebron in southern West Bank, was transferred, on Wednesday, to the Ramla prison, and added that he has lost a lot of weight, and is in a difficult health condition, including constant dizziness, headache and fatigue.
