Israeli naval forces on Friday morning shot dead a Gaza fisherman near northern Gaza Strip, medics and witnesses said. Adham Abu Selmeya, a Hamas media official told Xinhua that a 20 -year-old fisherman Mohamed Mansour Baker, arrived dead at Kamal Odwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip. 'Baker was shot in the chest by Israeli soldiers, and died on his way to hospital,' said Abu Selmeya. Palestinian witnesses said that Israeli naval vessels opened fire to the fisherman's boat at al-Sudaneya beach in northern Gaza Strip, killing Baker and damaging many other fishing boats. The Israeli naval forces frequently opened fire at the fishing boats at Gaza Strip, alleging that the Gaza fishermen had transgressed the allowed fishing area in the offshore Gaza Strip for fishing.
