The Israeli occupation forces' navy arrested on Wednesday morning six fishermen at sea in Rafah Governorate as they were fishing and took them to an undisclosed location.

The IOF also commandeered the fishermen's two boats and took them to the port of "Ashdod". They had also arrested three fishermen the day before yesterday from the sea of Rafah and commandeered their boat as well.

The IOF's navy constantly harasses Palestinian fishermen, in an attempt to deprive them of their only source of income and their right to work.

They also impose many restrictions that limit their ability to work, and continuously persecute and chase them down without reason.
