Gaza: Two Palestinian fishermen were wounded Tuesday morning by Israeli navy fire off the coast of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, marking a new violation of a ceasefire in place since last October, a medical source said.

According to Anadolu Agency, the two fishermen sustained moderate injuries in the attack that targeted fishing vessels off Khan Younis and were admitted to Nasser Hospital for medical attention. Witnesses described seeing Israeli gunboats firing heavily at fishing boats along the Khan Younis coast, resulting in injuries to the fishermen.

Israel continues to ban fishing in Gaza's waters despite the ceasefire agreement, which took effect on October 10, 2025. Naval forces have been pursuing and arresting fishermen, cutting off their only source of income amid a collapsing economy in the enclave.

Despite the risks, Gazan fishermen continue to venture out to sea to provide for their families amid worsening humanitarian conditions caused by Israel's two-year war and ongoing blockade. The Israeli army has persisted in its attacks in Gaza despite the ceasefire, resulting in the deaths of at least 877 Palestinians and injuries to 2,602 others, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.

The ceasefire agreement was reached after two years of a brutal war that has claimed more than 72,000 Palestinian lives, wounded over 172,000, and caused massive destruction to 90% of civilian infrastructure.
