Israeli naval forces on Wednesday morning wreaked havoc on one fishing boat and stole two others during their presence off the coast of Rafah area in the south of the besieged Gaza Strip.

Chief of the fishermen syndicate Nizar Ayyash said that naval forces aboard gunboats seized two boats used by fishermen for navigational and lighting purposes at nighttime and rampaged through another one without confiscating it.

About two weeks ago, the Israeli navy had also stolen a fishing boat used for the same purposes from the southern waters of Gaza.
