Israel navy detains two Gaza fishermen

The Israeli navy has arrested two Palestinian fishermen off the coast of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, sources on both sides said on Friday.


"The occupation navy boarded a fishing boat off Nuseirat [in central Gaza], arrested the two fishermen and took them to an unknown destination," a source in the Gaza Fishermen's Syndicate told AFP.


A spokeswoman for the Israeli military said: "Two fishermen were outside the authorized fishing zone. They were detained for questioning in the night."
