The Fishing Unions Association reported this morning that Israeli forces detained seven fishermen in the central Gaza Strip. The association published a list of names: Ahmad Akram al-Qur'an, Imad Jalal al-Qur'an, Bassam Ibrahim al-Qur'an, Ayoub Ibrahim al-Qur'an, al-Abd Youssef al-Qur'an, Ala al-Din Yahya al-Mas'ei, and Zaid Yahya al-Mas'arei. The circumstances of the detention and the current whereabouts of the men are not yet known.
The IDF has not issued a statement regarding the incident. The claim comes amid ongoing Israeli naval restrictions on Gaza's fishing zone, which have severely reduced the fishermen's catch, as The Zioneer reported on June 12. The military has not confirmed the detentions, and the account has not been independently verified.
The incident is the latest in a series of reported detentions of Palestinians by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip, though the IDF typically does not comment on individual operational detentions.
