Israeli marine vessels opened fire on Saturday at Palestinian fishermen, thus violating a ceasefire with Palestinian militant groups led by Hamas, Palestinian security sources said, as cited by Xinhua.
The shooting, which occurred in the Mediterranean along northwest Gaza city, caused no casualties, the sources added.
On Friday, Israeli gunboats fired two shells at Palestinian fishing boats in southern Gaza Strip town of Rafah when they were fishing offshore, causing damage to two boats.
On June 19, the Egyptian-brokered truce between Hamas and Israel took effect in the Gaza Strip but since then the two sides have exchanged several accusations over violations.
During the ceasefire, Palestinian armed groups fired rockets into Israel to express their opposition to keeping the West Bank out of the ceasefire deal. Israel, in return, closed commercial crossings into Gaza.
