Israeli occupation forces on Wednesday opened fire at Palestinian fishermen off Gaza coasts, with no injuries reported.

Local sources said the shooting caused slight damage to the fishing boats.

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation forces closed Karam Abu Salem crossing under the pretext of celebrating Jewish feasts.

Israeli authorities maintained a fishing limit of three nautical miles on all fishermen in the Gaza Strip until August, when Hamas negotiated a six-mile limit as part of the ceasefire that concluded Israel's two-month summer assault that left 2,200 dead.

But Israeli authorities have frequently shot at Palestinian fishermen inside the limit, and three have been killed since then.

The Palestinian Center for Human Rights reports frequent incidents of shooting by Israeli forces to maintain a buffer zone around the borders of the Gaza Strip.

In March, the group noted 16 incidents of shooting on land and four incursions by Israeli military forces.
