Gaza , April 6, 2009 (Pal Telegraph) - In a new piracy mission the Israeli Occupation arrested eight fishermen and confiscated their boats off the Gaza shore.
The Palestine Telegraph reporter was informed that Israeli gunboats intercepted five Palestinian boats while fishing in the northern Gaza strip. The Israeli forces seized the boats and arrested eight fishermen who were on board.
A Palestinian official said the Israeli army usually arrests fishermen to be transferred to Ashdod port where they are being interrogated about the nature of their work. After that they are photographed before release forfeiting their boats.
Elsewhere, a group of Palestinian resistance fighters survived an Israeli bombing that targeted the American school near Beit Lahia in the northern part of Gaza. Occupation aircrafts are still flying intensely over different parts of the strip.
